Replicated cough confirms efficacy of multilayer mask
Studying the interaction of a cough-like spray with different masks offers insight into the spread of COVID-19
Advances in ligand-to-metal charge transfer catalyze a new field
While the ligand-to-metal charge transfer process is a well-established light absorption pathway, its reverse process is more commonly used. Recent work may change that.
Advancing high-throughput heat conduction property characterization
Structured Illumination with Thermal Imaging opens experimental thermal science measurement platforms for “materials by design”
Combining gradient and inclined cilia for enhanced directional liquid transport

More efficient wireless power transfer possible with hemispherical coils
Alternatively shaped coils circumvent frequency splitting in wireless power transfer.
Every snowflake is unique—and so are their wakes
Numerical simulations and particle tracking experiments agree on wake conditions for steadily falling snowflakes, but diverge under unsteady falling conditions
Flow loop provides new insights on viscosity of drilling fluid dispersions
Power law parameters and custom design allow for better modeling of pressure drops and bore wall failure at higher concentrations of solids.
