Flying Patterns
A recent NYT article about a lab studying different bird species' flying abilities to improve human flight is pretty intriguing, but we're really taken by the accompanying images. To study flight patterns, birds are put in a wind tunnel to fly in an enclosed space and laser-illuminated olive oil droplets track and reveal the wake, creating pretty awesome pictures.
