Bubbles aren't just for bath time. Bubbles, specifically bubbles in foamy flows, are critical for many industrial processes, including the production of food and cosmetics and drug development and delivery. But the behavior of these foamy flows is notoriously difficult to compute because of the sheer number of bubbles involved. https://phys.org/news/2022-02-method-simulates-tens-thousands-foamy.html General Physics Wed, 02 Feb 2022 14:00:01 EST news563005040 Researchers at Kanazawa University report in the Biophysical Journal that the process of cell removal from an epithelial layer follows from an inherent mechanical instability. Moreover, the forces generated by an extruding cell can drive the extrusion of other cells in a particular direction. https://phys.org/news/2020-06-cell-result-mechanical-instability.html Cell & Microbiology Mon, 22 Jun 2020 08:30:02 EDT news512033338
