Spring Snowflakes Embraced by Gold 🌸☀️

These spring snowflakes, kissed by the sun and glistening with refreshing droplets, stand out beautifully against a golden backdrop. The soft light embraces the tiny blooms, adding a warm glow to their delicate petals, while the freshness of the gentle droplets and the golden hues make the scene feel peaceful and full of life. ✨

I've isolated the flowers on this dreamy, soft background using focus bracketing built into my camera and combining the photos through post-processing. Have you tried focus-stacking your macro photos? 🤍

Simulating a Sneeze

Sneezing and coughing can spread pathogens both through large droplets and through tiny, airborne aerosols. Understanding how the nasal cavity shapes the aerosol cloud a sneeze produces is critical to understanding and predicting how viruses could spread. Toward that end, researchers built a “sneeze simulator” based on the upper respiratory system’s geometry. With their simulator, the team mimicked violent exhalations both with the nostrils open and closed — to see how that changed the shape of the aerosol cloud produced.

The researchers found that closed nostrils produced a cloud that moved away along a 18 degree downward tilt, whereas an open-nostril cloud followed a 30-degree downward slope. That means having the nostrils open reduces the horizontal spread of a cloud while increasing its vertical spread. Depending on the background flow that will affect which parts of a cloud get spread to people nearby. (Image and research credit: N. Catalán et al.; via Physics World)
