ABB Dynafin propulsion concept's positive effects on efficiency and performance have been confirmed in comprehensive ...

Just last month we trawled the internet for updates to our coverage of the Dynafin propulsion concept from marine giant ABB. Now the technology has been independently tested, which also gives us our ...

The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials.

Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...

The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts its future stability and requires revisions to predictions of sea level rise.

Single-celled organisms that group together can generate stronger water currents to pull in food, a benefit that may have encouraged early life forms to assemble into colonies, according to a new ...

Life emerged on Earth some 3.8 billion years ago. The "primordial soup theory" proposes that chemicals floating in pools of water, in the presence of sunlight and electrical discharge, spontaneously ...

The fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding may have sparked single cells to assemble into complex, multicellular life, as illustrated by pond-dwelling trumpet-shaped, single-celled giants.

Here's how to check the six essential fluids in your car. After fuel (unless you have a fancy EV), oil is your car's most important fluid. Engines components spin thousands of times a minute ...
