A recent study reveals that human sperm can swim through viscous fluids in a way that defies Newton's third law, thanks to a property called odd elasticity, which allows them to generate propulsion without the typical opposing forces, with implications for designing efficient microscopic robots and understanding collective behavior in nature.
A recent study analyzing the orbital motions of wide binaries has provided conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity at low accelerations, challenging Newton's and Einstein's theories. The study, which examined data from 26,500 wide binaries, found that accelerations below one nanometer per second squared deviate from the predicted gravitational laws. This discovery aligns with a modified theory called MOND and has significant implications for astrophysics, physics, and cosmology, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of gravity and the need for dark matter.
