Posted Thu Apr 10 2014: from Washington Post:
The sneeze: Show these new MIT pictures to people who won't cover their mouths http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1397172808
...Researchers had previously viewed the sneeze as a collection of individual mucous droplets. After an "achoo," they thought, larger droplets flew farther than smaller ones because of momentum....Using high-speed imaging of coughs and sneezes, as well as laboratory simulations and mathematical modeling, the researchers came up with a new measure of the sneeze and its trajectory....Because the droplets are in a cloud, they stay suspended and travel further -- particularly smaller ones, which travel up to 200 times farther than previously estimated.
