(Nanowerk News) In things thick and thin: Cornell physicists explain how fluids -- such as paint or paste -- behave by observing how micron-sized suspended particles dance in real time. Using ...

New research by NIST and Georgetown scientists deciphers the mechanisms that cause the materials to switch between liquid and solid in response to stress. Oobleck's name is borrowed from a Dr. Seuss ...

What do paint, dishwasher detergent, ketchup and blood have in common? All are composed of particles suspended in a carrier liquid and flow when stirred or forced, but remain thick or even gel-like at ...

Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the viscosity of shear-thickening materials, turning solids to slush -- and back again. Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the ...

In this video we take a look at viscosity, a key property in fluid mechanics that describes how easily a fluid will flow. But there's more too it than that! We'll start by defining viscosity using ...

Norman Wagner, the University of Delaware Unidel Robert L. Pigford Chair in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware, has received the 2018 Sustained Research Prize from the Neutron ...

If I were asked to define what a fluid is, I would most likely use the definition I learned in grade school: a state of matter that flows and takes the form of the container it is in. Similarly, a ...

Cracked it: Fluid-based screen protectors need to absorb an impact as the system deforms. New research shows that simplifying the geometry of the system can be used to optimize the fluid. (Courtesy: ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – In things thick and thin: Cornell physicists explain how fluids – such as paint or paste - behave by observing how micron-sized suspended particles dance in real time. Using high-speed ...

ITHACA, N.Y. - Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the viscosity of shear-thickening materials, turning solids to slush - and back again. The study, "Using Acoustic Perturbations to ...
