Aerial drone footage shows the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) missing its iconic lobed fluke, which is responsible for propulsion while swimming. Taken by Eric Guth under NMFS permit # 24359 ...

Dr. Genadijus Sokolovas is a world-renowned sports scientist and expert physiologist who has been involved in the sport of ...

While existing literature has examined various propulsion efficiency factors including swimming modes, flow structures, fin morphologies, and material compliance. However, the two-dimensional ...

Monash researchers have discovered that swimming sperm create swirling fluid ... adding extra spin that enhances propulsion and helps keep them on a direct path through the fluid.

New 3D imaging reveals how sperm create spiral fluid structures that enhance propulsion, unlocking secrets of motion in microscopic swimmers.

the imaging revealed that a single swimming sperm creates multiple swirling vortices that attach to the cell and rotate around each other in sync, boosting the sperm’s propulsion. This discovery ...

Some birds aren’t just skilled in the sky—they’re expert swimmers too. These unique species dive underwater to hunt, using ...

Monash researchers have discovered that swimming sperm create swirling fluid vortices – shaped like rolling corkscrews – giving them an extra boost in ...

Sperm don’t just swim—they spin through the fluid in a tightly coordinated dance with swirling vortices that give them a powerful propulsion boost. Scientists from Monash University and the ...
