Engineers describe how fluid suspensions exhibit different behaviors at different scales
Honey is already a thick liquid, but let it begin to crystalize and it can become downright clumpy. The sugar crystals in suspension seem to increase its viscosity. This phenomenon occurs throughout the natural and constructed world: From mudflows to.....»»
Water on asteroid Ryugu"s parent found to have shaped distribution of its elements
A large international team of space scientists, geochemists, and engineers, has found that water that existed on the parent of Ryugu had an impact on the distribution of elements on the asteroid. In their paper published in the journal Science Advanc.....»»
Why we need to rethink the term "bullying"
Latest research from Flinders University has identified that the term 'bullying'—used to define a range of behaviors—is potentially jeopardizing successful and necessary prevention of harmful behavior at school. The paper, "The Confounding and Pr.....»»
New study using 3D scans of 85% of all known bird species sheds light on extraordinary avian diversity
A new study, using the digitized scans of beaks from over 8,700 bird species, is shedding light on how evolution changes at different scales. While the general principles of evolution by natural selection have been known for over 160 years, the 3D sc.....»»

Physicists ask: Can we make a particle collider more energy efficient?
Ever since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have wanted to build new particle colliders to better understand the properties of that elusive particle and probe elementary particle physics at ever-higher energy scales......»»
AI helps 3D printers “write” with coiling fluid ropes like Jackson Pollock
Reinforcement learning lets 3D printers exploit, not suppress, coiling instabilities. Enlarge / Jackson Pollock working in his Long Island studio adjacent to his home in 1949. (credit: Martha Holmes/The LIFE Picture Collection v.....»»
Scientists describe deployment of three-body chain-type tethered satellites in low-eccentricity orbits
Recently, the tethered satellite system (TSS) has been used in Earth observations, space interferometry and other space missions, due to its potential merits. The tethered TSAR (tomographic synthetic aperture radar) system is a group of tethered SAR.....»»
Astronomers observe supermassive black hole feeding and feedback on sub-parsec scales
An international research team led by Takuma Izumi, an assistant professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, has achieved a milestone by observing the nearby active galactic nucleus of the Circinus Galaxy, with an extremely high reso.....»»
Analysis finds diversity on the smallest scales in sulfur-cycling salt marsh microbes
At the surface, salt marshes and their windswept grasses can look deceptively simple. But those marshes are teeming with biodiversity, from the insects and migrating birds in the air all the way down to the microbes that live in the soil. Scientists.....»»
Engineers improve NASA lidar tech for exploration
