  1. Final report reveals #truth behind deadly #SingaporeAirlines flight SQ321 #turbulence
    " #SIA said tt across 29,000 #Boeing777 flights btw May 2023 & July 2025, 12 cases of under-detection, 4 cases of overdetection & 20 cases of not detecting inclement weather were logged. Te SQ321 aircraft accounted for 1 of te non-detection cases & 2 of te under-detection cases. When te #aircraft was flown back to🇸🇬 fr BKK aft te incident, indicat'ns of under-detection also occurred"🧐 1/2

  2. Turbulence and Bioluminescence

    If you’ve ever seen crashing waves glowing blue, you’ve been treated to bioluminescence. Although many creatures can bioluminesce, tiny dinoflagellates–a type of marine phytoplankton–are one of the easiest to spot. These microscopic organisms create a flash of light in response to viscous stresses. Their response to flow-induced stresses is so robust that they can be used to visualize stress fields.

    In a new study, researchers explored how turbulence affects the dinoflagellate’s luminescence. They mathematically modeled the dinoflagellate as an elastic dumbbell that emitted light based on its extent and rate of deformation. Then they explored how this model dinoflagellate behaved in different types of turbulent flows. They found that the fluctuations and intermittency of turbulent flows both encouraged the radiant displays. (Image credit: T. McKinnon; research credit: P. Kumar and J. Picardo)

  3. Smoke Bomb

    With a flurry of motion along its pectoral fin, a sting ray lifts the sand nearby and disappears into the turbid cloud. This tactic helps the animal both hide and escape. In a similar move, sting rays and other bottom-dwelling fish can bury themselves in sand.(Image credit: Y. Coll/OPOTY; via Colossal)
