“The wings of a boomerang are designed to generate lift as they spin through the air,” Esser said. “This is due to the wings’ airfoil shape, their angle of attack and the possible addition ...

The researchers will search for new liquid crystalline states of matter, and also focus on a phenomenon called "flexoelectricity," which is likely to be enhanced by the boomerang shape of the ...

You may have had one as a child. You may have tried to make one as an adult (if not, you absolutely should). They are one of the most interesting toys around: Boomerangs. With their basic V shape ...

"The top side is curved and the bottom side is relatively flat and that shape allows the boomerang to generate lift. But a boomerang is thrown vertically so the directional lift is to the side ...

Or at least, it shouldn’t. The hexagonal spaces trap water’s two hydrogens, which project from the central oxygen in a boomerang shape. But Oak Ridge National Laboratory physicist Alexander ...

Scientists have shown that the curved (boomerang-like) shape of the bacterium, called Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, is an important feature that affects its lifestyle, enabling it to efficiently ...
