Mucus films cover lung airways, but when do they block them? Beyond thickness and volume, intermediate films develop humps whose sliding and nonlinear growth can robustly form plugs, independent of gravity and ciliary transport.

Inspired by biological growth, scientists have developed a 3D printing method that ''grows'' objects from liquid resin using a self-propelling chemical reaction.
This approach enables the creation of beautiful, complex shapes like this helical horn.

Using propulsion systems like bows and spearthrowers, researchers have found that flexible, weighted-tip projectiles that wobble when thrown can achieve a kinetic energy gain of 160% over rigid ones.
