Tiny Cavitation Bubbles Enhance Energy Conversion in Fuel Injectors’ Jets
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists have a limited understanding of the effects of cavitation in microscopic devices. In this research, scientists took high-speed images of microscale cavitating fuel jets to understand the motion of liquid jets from high-pressure fuel injectors like those used in vehicle engines. Analysis of the results showed that cavitation enhances the energy conversion efficiency of the fuel injection.

What Role Does a Tailwind Play in Cycling’s ‘Everesting’?
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

Within the cycling realm, “to Everest” involves riding up and down the same mountain until your ascents total the elevation of Mt. Everest. A new record was set a few years ago, but a debate ensued about the strong tailwind the cyclist had on climbs. To what extent do the tailwind help a cyclist as they climb?

SLU Researchers Identify Sex-Based Differences in Immune Responses Against Tumors
Saint Louis University

Researchers at Saint Louis University School of Medicine investigated differences in T-cell responses between male and female patients with lung cancer that may help direct future treatments. T-cell responses are part of the adaptive immune system, which is part of the body's "smart system" that monitors for threats and fights them with customized defenses.
