Sea Monkeys Help Scientists Rewrite a Rule of Turbulence

Brine shrimp, commonly sold as sea monkeys, have shown researchers how their collective swimming churns water in ways that overturn long-held assumptions about turbulence. The tiny crustaceans' swarm movements create flows far stronger than expected at their scale, prompting scientists to reconsider a rule describing how turbulence fades in fluids. The findings could influence how mixing is modeled in oceans and other natural systems.
Why now: A new Quanta Magazine article on an unexpected physics discovery involving sea monkeys is circulating among science readers.
