Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo

Imagine an olympic diver but it's an air jet! Zou et al. explore the dynamics of air jet cavities during water entry! They reveal unique cavity behaviors, the impact of dual Froude numbers, and the absence of surface seals. More @ go.aps.org/4gLQGdZ #fluiddynamics
