The whirling helical structure obtained when pouring honey onto toast may seem like an easy enough problem to solve at breakfast. Specifically, one would hope that a quick back-of-the-envelope scaling argument would help rationalize the observed behaviour and predict the coiling frequency.

متن کاملCell Adhesion: Sizing Up a Sticky Situation
Cadherins, the principal cell adhesion molecules in animal tissues, come in clusters. A combination of super-resolution microscopy and modeling now reveals the sizes of these clusters and gives clues to how they are assembled.
