This well-known ‘air-righting reflex’ has fascinated both pet owners and scientists for centuries. But how can cats twist their bodies in midair and not violate the laws of physics? A recent study by ...

The 2025-26 season is roughly 80 percent of the way complete, meaning we've got a pretty good pulse on the strengths and weaknesses of every team by this point.

Researchers used high-speed cameras and motion tracking to show the air-righting reflex relies on spine flexion, front and rear body rotation, and tail adjustments that conserve zero angular momentum ...

The new findings could have applications from improving veterinary treatments to even helping develop remarkable new bio-inspired robots.

The researchers find that "trunk rotation during air-righting in cats occurs sequentially, with the anterior trunk rotating ...

A team at Yamaguchi University in Japan has identified a mechanical property of the feline spine that helps explain how cats can rotate midair to land on their feet. Their peer-reviewed study, ...

Pain physicians treat the signal, surgeons treat the structure, and insurers evaluate the cost. Patients experience all three. The Elephant in the Room There is an old parable about several blind men ...

High school football and construction work have taken their toll on Justin Loebel's back. Though he is just 43, Loebel has ...

The literal front line of the most serious and important battles against post-op spine pain and opioid use is revision spine surgery.

Why do falling cats always seem to land on their feet? Scientists have been arguing about the precise mechanism for a very long time—since at least 1700, in fact—conducting all manner of experiments ...

For most of 2025, Zach Eflin was just not himself. The effort was undeniable. But something was badly, visibly wrong. In 14 starts, he went 6–5 with a 5.93 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, and a K:BB ratio of 50:13 ...

An experimental treatment reduces seizures and other symptoms in children with a type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome.
