At the quantum scale, systems do not exist in isolation. They interact, exchange information, and become correlated with one ...

Flaps perform essential jobs. From pumping hearts to revving engines, flaps help fluid flow in one direction. Without them, keeping liquids going in the right direction is challenging to do.

A twist you'll never see coming: a breakthrough in understanding the relationship between chirality and electric flow at a microscopic level may help us develop chiral information technology.

Birds breathe with greater efficiency than humans due to the structure of their lungs--looped airways that facilitate air flows that go in one direction--a team of researchers has found through a ...

Searching for time’s arrow in the underlying, microscopic laws of physics certainly draws a blank. They give us no reason to think atoms, molecules and so on can’t move backwards as well as forwards ...
