How to Smell Underwater with the Star-Nosed Mole
NEW VIDEO - termites survive in the desert by living underground in termite mounds, but how do they keep their mounds cool? The answer lies in some neat fluid dynamics... Research by Shantanu Bailoor @JohnsHopkins. youtube.com/watch?v=rfS6KT…

Jellyfish stingers reach an acceleration 50 times faster than a bullet as they are ejected from stinging capsules under high pressure. THIS is what fluid mechanics is made for. Research from Uri Shavit @TechnionLive. youtu.be/q2NhR7Pq1s4
Videos for DIY science experiments keep showing up in my feeds but they never explain the science… So I decided to film my own and fix that. I present my DIY cold Lava Lamp. #SciComm #Science #Chemistry #physics #STEM
NEW VIDEO: What happens when a nettle stings you? Some fluid dynamics and very cool lab experiments later, Kaare Jensen @DTUtweet has the answer... Featuring close-up footage of a stinger in action - not to be missed!! youtu.be/VvvmGmat55Q

New on the @jfluidmech blog - how are Dandelion seeds able to cross entire oceans using only the power of the wind? New visualisations of the airflow around the plants ‘parachute’ show that vortices might hold the key... cambridge.org/core/blog/2019…
NEW VIDEO - what does the airflow around a yacht sail look like? And how can we control it to make faster and more efficient sails? @ignaziomariav @EdinburghUni has the answers... youtube.com/watch?v=Vtas3r…

Honey bees create a mixture of pollen and nectar that sticks to their hind legs to allow them to carry the maximum amount possible back to their hives. Incredible insight from @mmatherne6 @GeorgiaTech (and some awesome experimental videos as always). youtu.be/8nNLBo2VO34
The air density on Mars is 1/100th of that on Earth which means that current airborne vehicles cannot be used to explore the planet. Jeremy Pohly @UofAlabama is designing new bio-inspired vehicles - based on bumblebees - for the human exploration of Mars. youtube.com/watch?v=ud2Fts…
