New cell-scale robots can sense their environment, compute decisions, and move independently without magnetic or ultrasonic control systems.

In the realm of fluid mechanics, the behavior of viscous fluids confined between two surfaces presents a fascinating study with profound implications across various engineering disciplines. From ...

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

CocoIndex is a data flow programming framework. It lets you see both inputs and outputs at every point of a pipeline. Data is transparent and traceable, allowing you to focus on how data should be ...

From cars on a highway to a viscous fluid like oil, our understanding of electron behavior is being changed by new research. Credit: College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore ...

The rate of ice flow is a primary control on the rate of mass loss from ice sheets and glaciers. Therefore, the model representation for ice flow is critical to projections of future ice sheet and sea ...

Fluid flows occur due to internal or external forces such as wind, gravity, pressure gradients, side-wall motion, MHD, and free convection. This study examines how meanders impact heat transfer by ...
