June research roundup: 6 cool science stories we almost missed
摘要
6月科研速览：本月值得关注的科学故事包括足球剪刀脚假动作的力学原理、粪便独特螺旋形状的物理学解释、硼巴基球结构，以及维苏威挑战赛中赫库兰尼姆卷轴破译的最新突破。日本科学家通过高速摄像机研究了不同水平足球运动员的剪刀脚假动作运球动力学。
It’s a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across. So every month, we highlight a handful of the best stories that nearly slipped through the cracks. June’s list includes insight into the science of soccer's scissors feint; the physics of poo's distinctive coiled shape; a boron buckyball; and the latest breakthrough in the ongoing Vesuvius challenge to decipher the Herculaneum scrolls.
The science of soccer's scissors feint

With the FIFA World Cup in full swing, even scientists' thoughts are turning to soccer (or football for everyone else in the world). For instance, one common and highly effective dribbling maneuver is the "scissors feint," in which a player uses the outside of their feet to fake going one way and then cutting to the other. Japanese scientists studied university and junior high school soccer players of varying skill levels to study dribbling dynamics, focusing on the scissors feint. The movements were captured with high-speed cameras.
