Super-fast Insect Urination Powered by the Physics of Superpropulsion

Atlanta, GA

Tiny insects known as sharpshooters excrete by catapulting urine drops at incredible accelerations. Their excretion is the first example of superpropulsion discovered in a biological system.

“As theoretical physicists, we develop new kinds of mathematical models,” says Itamar Kimchi. “When it’s qualitatively difficult to understand how anything can make sense in experimental data — when there’s something qualitatively shocking — we try to come up with that basic picture.”

New Quantum State Discovered in Trimer-Honeycomb Material
