💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐧🤖 Engineers at #MIT and #EPFL built a flapping-wing #robot that swims #underwater and flies into the air.
Inspired by diving #birds like #puffins, the small #vehicle folds its #wings to handle water density. This #technology could help scientists collect environmental samples from both air and #water.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ⚽🔄 A physicist who has studied #WorldCup ball #aerodynamics for 20 years addresses #goalkeeper complaints about the 2026 #Trionda ball.
He explains that wind tunnel #data predicted stable #flight with slightly higher drag, and match play has largely confirmed those predictions. Goff suggests that elevation, not the ball itself, may explain some wayward kicks.

Today we’re sharing a slightly different piece of our reading list, stepping away, just for a moment, from the Leidenfrost effect to explore… the #physics of footballs ⚽
At every World Cup, the official ball is completely redesigned under strict physical constraints. Far from being a simple design object, it becomes a real-world laboratory for #FluidMechanics.

In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.
Here's the video recorded by the drone around the highest point on Earth!
https://youtu.be/Zz9oI3B6v4cIn 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro: https://youtu.be/csDriucITDEHere are some of the physics challenges involved 👇

FIFA World Cup ball comparison
Trionda (2026) vs Al Rihla (2022)This CFD comparison is showing two different FIFA World Cup ball designs spinning at the same rate (600 rpm) in the same airflow (30 m/s).
The colours and wake structure reveal how the surface geometry affects the air around the ball.
* Trionda (2026): Much more intricate surface pattern with many grooves, ridges and dimples.
* Al Rihla (2022): Simpler panel layout with fewer aerodynamic features.
players might notice the Trionda:
* Grips the air more strongly
* Curves more readily when spun
* Feel slightly more stable aerodynamicallyThe 2026 Trionda appears designed to give the airflow more to “hold onto”, creating stronger vortex structures and slightly larger aerodynamic forces than the smoother 2022 Al Rihla, which may translate into more pronounced curl and control for skilled players.

⏳ Times up. Sadly, this historical place is about to disappear forever.
Demolition work is underway on the site, progressing steadily at this 1940s aircraft research facility. Once at the cutting edge of aerodynamics R&D, the site's 8x8ft supersonic tunnel tested flight components at Mach 2.5.
Already the smaller 3x3 tunnel facility and control room have been levelled; this one looks to be set to be next.

`Wind tunnel experiments on three-dimensional-printed models revealed that tucked configurations were statically stable, while spread configurations displayed a nonlinear relationship between pitching moment and lift. This nonlinearity allows configurations to be either stable or unstable depending on the lift state, affording a previously under-explored source of flight performance flexibility.`
-
Birds, such as the Harris's hawk, alter their wing and tail shapes mid-flight to transition seamlessly between highly maneuverable, aerodynamically unstable states and steady, aerodynamically stable states to navigate narrow obstacles.
