Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific Americans' 60 Second Science. I'm Karen Hopkins.

Doing science isn't easy. It takes an enormous amount of time and energy to collect and analyze data.

At least, that's the way it usually works.

This is one of those examples that we joke that we can snap our fingers and get data.

That's because Saad Bamla and his students just wrapped up a study of the physics of finger snapping.

They found that the right amount of friction is key to a successful snap.

Their work appears in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Baumless lab at Georgia Tech focuses on ultra-fast motion in nature.

Organisms can achieve really, really fast motions,

and we're kind of curious about how they're able to do this

and how we may extract those principles for perhaps synthetic systems.

Their science may be hardcore, but their lab meetings include time to be a bit more playful.

We have something called Super Happy Fun Time, and in this, we'll talk about something typically

non-scientific, just to kind of diffuse a situation after a typically intense scientific

discussion that a student presents.

A couple years back, their talk turned to the movie Infinity Wars.

In the climax of this Avengers flick,
