Frictional resistance accounts for up to 85% of the drag on slow-moving merchant ships, so engineers have been experimenting with air bubbles to change that. Here's how pumping tiny bubbles under a ...

Whether hitting a golf ball, catching a pass or skiing downhill, visualization increases repetitions safely without physical exertion while also reinforcing key technical and tactical focus points.

Microbubbles in the tap water you just poured into a plastic glass are strong enough to create tiny abrasions on the inner layer of the plastic—quietly adding to our growing microplastic problem.

If you read the research on microplastics, these pollutants appear to be as frightening as they are ubiquitous. Found throughout our bodies, food and environment, both microplastics and their ...

Abstract: A high-speed in situ microscopic observation system developed for basic studies on mechanisms of sonoporation is introduced in this paper. The main part of the system is an inverted-type ...

Researchers from Skoltech, ITMO University, and their colleagues have reported new findings about the behavior of microbubbles exposed to ultrasound. The data obtained by the team will enable the ...

ABSTRACT: A definitive, quantitative investigation has been performed to determine whether orbital atherectomy gives rise to cavitation. The investigation encompassed a synergistic interaction between ...

Picture yourself printing out this post to read later. Imagine the place you will sit while reading it. What do you see on the walls? What background sounds are in the room? Feel the weight and ...

Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

The targeted treatment of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or brain tumours is challenging because the brain is a particularly sensitive organ that is well protected. That’s why ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have synthesized and tested protein-polymer microbubbles for use in medical ultrasound imaging of internal organs. Administered intravenously, the ...

A new paper by a team of Concordia researchers from the departments of Biology and Physics proposes a novel method of fighting cancer tumors that uses ultrasound-guided microbubbles - a technology ...
