A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

A study presents a striking example of cooperative organization among cells as a potential force in the evolution of multicellular life. The study is based on the fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding ...

The researchers also introduced a spiral phase plate to the 1553-nm beam before frequency mixing, resulting in the generation of a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum. This marks the ...

It represents a fundamental question not only in the study of bacterial behavior but also in classical fluid dynamics, where understanding the ... The experiments revealed that vortex reversal is the ...

A CSF leak occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) escapes from the protective layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is a serious condition that can cause headaches, seizures ...

The Met Office says the UK is highly likely to see a polar vortex collapse in March - the weather phenomenon responsible for 2018’s ‘Beast from the East’. A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW ...

Article continues below The Met Office explained: “This phenomenon is characterised by a reversal of winds, the stratosphere polar vortex, high up in the stratosphere. These winds are currently ...

The polar vortex is an area of low pressure and cold air circulating around the poles in the stratosphere — a layer in the atmosphere hovering between 7.5 and 31 miles (12 and 50 kilometers ...
