One of the problems of conventional filters used in homes, businesses and public spaces is their poor performance. They rely ...

Engineers in South Korea developed a bioinspired air filter that mimics nasal mucus, trapping more particles and lasting ...

I saw my dentist for pain in an upper molar, but the X-ray was normal. My nose was also plugged up, and she said it might be ...

This ingenious system helps the cilia capture and entrap dirt, dust and pathogens. The cilia propel the mucus down the nasal passages into the throat.

This ingenious system helps the cilia capture and entrap dirt, dust and pathogens. The cilia propel the mucus down the nasal passages into the throat. Swallowing directs it into the esophagus and ...

During this process, nasal cilia beat in a coordinated fashion to transport foreign entities captured in mucus away from the nose. A further barrier to nasal delivery is the existence of tight ...

Hair-like structures called cilia then move them to the back of the throat, where they are either expelled or swallowed. In this new research published in the journal Nature, engineers coated filters ...

The tiny hairs in your nose, known as cilia, move that drying mucus from your nasal cavity to the front of your nose, where it can be blown out — or yes, picked. Boogers are natural.

Engineers in South Korea developed a bioinspired air filter that mimics nasal mucus, trapping more particles and lasting twice as long.
