Recent experiments in fluid mechanics are shedding light on the intricate motion displayed by non-spherical objects as they fall, a problem that has puzzled physicists for centuries and still defies a full theoretical explanation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
