Observation of protein interactions with individual DNA molecules allows one to measure kinetic and structural changes that are not easy to study using bulk biochemical techniques. In this ...

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

Next generation aircraft aerodynamics are evolving through morphing wings and laminar flow technology, reducing drag, ...

The effect of fluid motion on the excitation of bioluminescence was examined for cultured dinoflagellates and plankton samples subjected to steady state laminar shear associated with simple Couette ...

A quiet revolution is taking place in the fields of biology and chemistry. Microfluidic devices, which allow fluid manipulation in micro-scale channels, are slowly but surely finding their place on ...

You may have seen the video which recently did the rounds billed as "laminar flow". Water pours from a tap so steadily that it looks like a solid twisted icicle. It’s utterly still, until it’s ...

We aren’t sure if [Joshua Bellamy] is serious that he wants a laminar flow to water his plants, but there are many places where having a smooth and predictable flow of water is useful or even ...

Fluid mixing is an important part of several industrial processes and chemical reactions. However, the process often relies on trial-and-error-based experiments instead of mathematical optimization.
