…a, University of Sofia. – By coupling the buckling instability with filament extrusion we reveal the details of this mode of swimming, which provides new insights into the motion of microswimmers. Using the theoretical tools of microscale fluid dynamics, we are able to understand why these tails form, explain their shapes, and quantify the resulting motion of the droplets – explains Dr. Lisicki.   The work results from a long-standing internationa…

The nuclei of these galaxies light up in X-rays every few hours, reaching peak luminosities comparable to that of an entire galaxy. The research results have already been published in the journal “Nature”. Dr. Mariusz Gromadzki from the Astronomical Obse…

The hydraulic wheel drew water from the Orontes River and supplied it to small Roman baths with swimming pools and a slide, visible from both the outside and the inside; the water slide and the swimming pool were sorts of attraction for boys playing together – says Prof. Olszewski. The water wheels were operated by the river cu…
