A floating ice block moves on water thanks to its own melting.

Inclined bottoms create underwater jets as cold meltwater sinks, pushing the block. Could iceberg motion be partly self-driven?

Can water solve a maze?

Fluid flow in the brain can be manipulated by sensory stimulation

Researchers at Boston University, U.S. report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. Led by Stephanie Williams, and publishing in the open access journal PLOS Biology on March 30, the study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation induces complementary fluid flow. The findings could impact treatment for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, which have been associated with declines in cerebrospinal fluid flow.
