ENG: Scientists have developed a way to turn thyme extract into tiny, consistent doses that are easier to store and safer to use. Thyme contains compounds such as thymol, carvacrol, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid, which are linked to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. However, the extract can evaporate quickly and, in larger amounts, may irritate the skin or digestive system, so controlling the dose is important.
ENG: For nearly two centuries, the Navier–Stokes equations have been the gold standard for describing how fluids move, from ocean currents to the airflow over a wing. But mathematicians have long suspected there may be rare situations where this elegant theory “glitches.” In those extreme cases, the equations might predict something physically nonsensical: a whirlpool that accelerates without limit, or a quantity like vorticity shooting to infinity in finite time. That kind of mathematical breakdown is called a singularity or blowup, and proving whether it can (or cannot) happen for three-dimensional Navier–Stokes is so hard it’s one of the Clay Millennium Prize Problems, with $1 million on the line.
