I was away for a few weeks, so posting stopped. Back now and I have a fun video to share. The video shows a fluid flow called a vortex ring removing oil from a thin, porous material in a way that cleans both of its surfaces (top and bottom) at once.

The bodies of the jellyfish, squid, and prawns that live in the deep ocean are so transparent to light that they are nearly invisible to the animals that prey on them. Now researchers show that crustaceans can get around this problem by overlying the pigment with a refractive photonic glass made of crystalline nanospheres.

Just add water to activate this new explosive. This simple “on-off switch” makes it safe in storage.

So-called dusty plasmas exhibit collective behaviors, including the congregation of particles into string-like clusters (SLCs) when an external electric field is applied. SLCs were first reported 15 years ago, but researchers remain in the dark as to exactly how they develop. Now a team has figured out what forces are responsible for SLC formation--and its not what you might think.

Salt flats, deserts, & dry lakes host mysterious, unexplained patterns of interlocked polygons that grow on the salt-encrusted ground. Now researchers believe they can explain how these patterns form through the interaction between fluid flowing in the soil & fluid evaporating at the surface. The work appears to offer a unifying explanation for the growth of such polygons.

The electron may be catching up to the muon in terms of its ability to test the standard model through "g-2" measurements.

physics.aps.org/articles/v16/2

And since I am sharing a g-2 story, I'm going to link to our cartoon about the so-called muon g-2 anomaly because it was our first cartoon and it was really good.

Need to zone out for a minute? Here is a trippy, drippy video of bouncing water drops.

These ejected drops could improve understanding of light emission in quantum systems.

Physics - How Sea Spray Might Disperse Large Particles

Air bubbles bursting at the ocean’s surface create sea spray that spreads particles, including pollutants, into the atmosphere. Experiments now reveal exactly what determines whether one of those particles becomes airborne.

Physics - Tracking Isotopes in the Upper Atmosphere

The first measurements of a heavy isotope in Earth’s upper atmosphere suggest that isotopic concentrations could become powerful probes of atmospheric processes at otherwise hard-to-probe altitudes.

The probe could be used to trace the influence of activity and on Earth’s .
