Butterfly flight is a complex phenomenon in which the flow of air generated by the flapping of wings and the movement of the butterflies themselves are intricately intertwined. Many elements of butterfly aerodynamics have ...
Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) present the basis for large data rate optical interconnects in data centers. Presently VCSELs have replaced edge-emitting lasers for distances below 500 m due to their advantages ...
As one wise pundit recently observed, "everybody is a virologist now." For the many people whose interest in biology formerly began and ended with "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell," a second axiom can now be ...
