  • A better understanding of many environmental phenomena, such as plankton spreading in the ocean, relies on knowledge of the dispersion statistics. Xia et al. trace particles' trajectories in laboratory turbulence and reveal that a single force scale can be sufficient to predict the dispersion of particles.

  • Fetching an object by means of sending a wave—impossible? Not necessarily. As now demonstrated experimentally, generating waves on a water surface using a set of plungers can cause a floating particle to move counter to the general direction of wave propagation. The effect originates from vorticity creation by steep 3D waves.
