Our best models of the cosmos don't add up — but that could change if the universe is actually made of a viscous 'fluid,' a ...

Modeling the behavior of liquids is important for a wide range of applications, from industrial processes and medical devices to computer graphics and visual simulations. However, despite many years ...

An experiment started in 1927 by Thomas Parnell aimed to prove pitch is a super-viscous fluid. Over 96 years, only nine drops ...

Conventional wisdom holds that an electric current never returns to its source nor follows a circular path. Instead, it flows from one electrode to another following a local electric field, obeying ...

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

From cars on a highway to a viscous fluid like oil, our understanding of electron behaviour is being changed by new research. In high school science class, we learned that plugging a cable into an ...

Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of ...

Researchers have investigated the fluid dynamics of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) moving through gastric mucus using a 3D model and a magnetic field. H. pylori uses its corkscrew-like tail to move ...
