A fidget spinner-inspired device can diagnose urinary tract infections in 50 minutes, outperforming traditional laboratory methods. The portable technology uses a novel fluid-assisted separation mechanism to rapidly enrich pathogens from urine samples.
Researchers found that bees' speed decreases when entering a turn and increases when exiting, allowing them to maintain constant centripetal acceleration. Bees manage their speed to reduce 'sideslips' caused by excess centrifugal force, making turns with sharp forces more manageable.
In a rotating curved pipe, particle distribution changes significantly due to centrifugal force, affecting coagulation and dispersion. With Coriolis and centrifugal forces aligned, particles concentrate near the outside edge, increasing in size over time.
Research at Brandeis University reveals the human brain's ability to quickly adapt to changing gravitational forces. Directed motions such as pointing and walking speed are significantly affected by changes in gravity.
