Now, researchers at MIT and their collaborators have found that as marine snow falls, tiny hitchhikers may limit how deep the particles can sink before dissolving away. The team shows that when ...

In this interview, Prof Na Li explores the mysteries of the particle drifting effect and its practical applications in real-world scenarios. Could you explain why solubility is such a crucial factor ...

As any diver knows, oceans can be cloudy places. Even on sunny days, snow-like particles drift through the water column, obscuring the aquatic world below. Scientists have long known that this "marine ...
