The camera

Physics

New kind of camera can image mini-whirlpools in quantum liquids

Researchers have built a camera-like device for understanding how vortices form in quantum liquids, where atoms pair up and start to behave like overlapping waves

Fibroblast cells. Immunofluorescence light micrograph of fibroblast cells. The cell nuclei are purple, actin filaments are cyan and microtubules, protein filaments that make up part of the cytoskeleton, are yellow. Fibroblasts are cells that give rise to connective tissue such as collagen, the main structural protein in the body. They are important in wound healing. Magnification: x500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.

Why does time only move forwards? Possibly just because we’re ignorant

The one-way flow of time is one of the great mysteries of physics. It might be that we see causes and effects just because our information about reality is incomplete
