Sperm don't just swim, they screw their way forward
Monash researchers have discovered that swimming sperm create swirling fluid vortices—shaped like rolling corkscrews—giving them an extra boost in the race to the egg.

A recent study published in the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing highlights how China's FengYun-3 (FY-3) meteorological satellites have improved global tracking of land surface temperature (LST) throughout ...
In a study that tracked explicit and implicit bias against stigmatized groups in 33 countries between 2009 and 2019, researchers found substantial reductions in explicit, self-reported bias against all categories of stigma ...
For the first time since Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight in 1963, a spacecraft will enter orbit with only women aboard. Blue Origin's all-female space flight crew, which includes popstar Katy Perry, is ...
Researchers from chemistry, biology, and medicine are increasingly turning to AI models to develop new hypotheses. However, it is often unclear on which basis the algorithms come to their conclusions and to what extent they ...
Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes. However, many are ...
Eventgoers' live experiences are shaped by media technologies like social media, whether used in the moment or not, and memory and anticipation are increasingly part of live experiences themselves, research published in the ...
The frequency regime lying in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) has very unique properties that make it ideal for several applications, such as being less affected by atmospheric scattering as well as being "eye-safe." These ...
The gene encoding an enzyme from a firefly, discovered at the Sorocaba campus of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil, has given rise to a biosensor capable of detecting pH changes in mammalian cells—which ...
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent signal. The technology can ...
