A number of species of fish live, apparently comfortably, in Antarctic waters as cold as the freezing temperature of seawater, which is a couple of degrees colder than fresh water. This presents us with several mysteries. First, cold slows down the chemistry necessary for life. At these temperatures, life's chemistry all but stops. Photo: Ocellated Icefish by NOAA (PD)

Aerodynamics, the science of flight, is a highly complex science. This is because many complex forces are acting on anything in flight. One critical force that has been under recent study is the turbulence that forms at the tips of the wings. Photo: Bombardier_Learjet_60 by Allen Wilson-CCA BY SA 2.0

Shore birds like the oystercatcher search for buried mollusks by touch. They poke around in the sand, hoping to find a hard shelled mollusk. But if you have ever tried to find something that was hiding where you couldn't see it? Photo: Red Knot by Hans Hillewaert CC BY-SA 4.0

What determines the sort of smells that we like and dislike? Is it nature or nurture? Do we like the smells of the environment, in which we were brought up, or are our likes and dislikes inherited from previous generations?
