New high-speed videos show that as a person sneezes, they launch a sheet of fluid that balloons, breaks apart, and ultimately scatters as a spray of droplets. The researchers recorded more than 100 sneezes to reveal […]
Many fundamental questions about the microscopic structure and behavior of concrete have remained elusive – until now. In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team with CEE collaborators has identified key factors […]
In the ocean, the microenvironment surrounding phytoplankton cells is rich in dissolved organic matter, and bacteria competing for this matter are advantageous if they can perform chemotaxis, the sensing and movement toward a chemical source. Postdocs […]
MIT News High-speed imaging shows how fluid breaks apart in air, may be useful in identifying super-spreaders. Here’s some incentive to cover your mouth the next time you sneeze: New high-speed videos captured by MIT researchers […]
MIT News Findings may guide development of formulas to make the material more durable, less CO2-intensive. Concrete is the world’s most widely used construction material, so abundant that its production is one of the leading sources […]
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Materials by a team of researchers including Professor Franz-Josef Ulm, postdoc Colin Bousige, and Research Scientist Roland J.-M.
