For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out ...

For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse—in which the water flows into the device rather than out of it—work? Through a ...

When San To Chan successfully defended their PhD thesis, they received a gift of saltwater taffy to celebrate and couldn’t help being intrigued by the taffy’s unusual consistency: somewhere between a ...

Researchers conduct a series of experiments that explore how changing key parts of the gummy-making process affects the final product, as well as how the candies behave in different storage ...

The image illustrates the experimental set-up: (a) Cut-away schematic of the floating sprinkler, (b) Flow control apparatus operating in suction mode, and (c) Flow imaging with a laser sheet ...

Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" accurately depicts the energy distribution in turbulent flows. The painting's swirls follow Kolmogorov's law of turbulence, a key equation in physics. It also shows ...
