Older theories said the clusters would grow forever and the liquid would suddenly lock up. Adding that feedback loop to the equations made the sharp transition vanish and matched the supercomputer simulations almost perfectly. The same physics may describe tumor cells that get stuck and then start invading.
Groundbreaking study suggests fundamental constants sit within incredibly narrow range that allows biological fluids to flow properly inside living cells.
New research suggests fundamental constants governing physics sit within an incredibly narrow range that allows liquids to flow properly inside living cells.
New research suggests fundamental laws of physics exist within an incredibly narrow window that allows cellular fluids to flow properly, making life possible.
Researchers suggest that tiny shifts in fundamental physical constants could make blood too thick, water too sticky, or cellular motion impossible.
New research suggests fundamental constants appear precisely tuned to allow liquids to flow properly inside living cells, making life possible.
New research suggests that even tiny shifts in physics' deepest laws could make blood too thick or water too sticky for complex organisms to survive.
New research suggests the Universe's fundamental constants appear to sit within an incredibly narrow sweet spot that allows liquids to flow properly inside living cells.
New research suggests fundamental constants exist within an incredibly narrow range that allows liquids to flow properly inside living cells.
A team led by Kostya Trachenko says small shifts in fundamental constants would change the viscosity of water and blood enough to make complex biology unworkable.
Drexel University researchers accidentally found that viscous fluids can snap apart abruptly instead of flowing, overturning a foundational assumption of fluid mechanics and opening new questions in hydraulics and biomedical engineering.
