How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand ...

Flow visualisation and analysis techniques constitute a critical foundation for understanding complex fluid dynamics across a range of scientific disciplines, from climate research to engineering ...

Sometimes I say “wax on” as I gesture. It has become a joke about the way I am constantly moving my hand in a circle as I describe the flow of people, equipment, processes and PDCA. It looks like I am ...

Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

Modified natural materials will be an essential component of a sustainable future, but first a detailed understanding of their properties is needed. The way heat flows across bamboo cell walls has ...

(Nanowerk News) Stanford scientists have developed a fluorescence imaging technique that allows them to view the pulsing blood vessels of living animals with unprecedented clarity. Compared with ...
