Quirky backyard sprinklers helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery about how flowing water makes objects spin.
Mathematicians have solved a physics puzzle using backyard sprinklers. Experiments with silly sprinklers clarified how ...
It took 100 years to come to fruition, but this recently created fluid enables non-magnetic electrostatic-based motors.
Researchers at New York University’s Courant Institute conducted a series of experiments with different silly sprinkler designs to find the answer to a longstanding problem in fluid dynamics, ...
Animals and electronic devices aren't the only things with memory. Materials can retain memories of past deformations in their microscopic structure. A common example is a crease in a sheet of paper ...
Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.
