Just like the effect of surfactants acting on the surfaces between two media such as water and air, there can be a lineactant effect on the lines separating three media. Physicists show here for the first time such an effect for carbon dioxide (CO2) in contact with a drop of water confined in a nanopore.

By orienting themselves to each other, fish increase their individual ability to find a preferred direction such as the direction of the flow. Indeed, in the presence of current in rivers or in the sea, a school of fish can decide to remain motionless to feed, for example. In this numerical study, we first modeled the social interactions within the school that cause the fish to align with each other.
