In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have unraveled the mystery behind the enigmatic swirling movements observed in some of nature’s largest cells. This research, published in the prestigious journal Nature Physics, has shed light on the source of these mysterious swirling flows, which have long puzzled researchers.
The study, led by scientists from the Flatiron Institute, reveals that these swirling movements are a result of the collective behavior of thousands of interacting organisms within the cell. The researchers used simple models to explain this behavior, demonstrating that even seemingly complex phenomena can be understood through a fundamental understanding of the interactions between individual components.
