You know when you pour milk into a bowl of breakfast cereal and the floating cereal tends to clump together? In fluid mechanics, that phenomenon is known as the ‘Cheerios effect,’ and it’s inspired the development of a unique but more efficient water-harvesting system that could be particularly useful in arid regions.Researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, coated a surface with a lubricant film and found that it caused water droplets to combine faster, akin to the…

Stars are born in chaotic and fascinating environments, and scientists are eager to understand more about these processes. And at the forefront of this exploration is US space agency NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Ever since its launch, it is helping astronomers see these celestial events like never before.Recently, James Webb Space Telescope captured two stunning images of NGC 604, a place in the Triangulum galaxy where stars are forming. It's about 2.73 million light-years away from Earth. These images show us…
