In industrial plants around the world, tiny bubbles cause big problems. Bubbles clog filters, disrupt chemical reactions, reduce throughput during biomanufacturing, and can even cause overheating in ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Rheology, high-speed imaging, and velocimetry combined to characterize how some roller-based nozzles perform so well with non ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Recent simulations explore how complex organic molecules may form and be delivered to Europa and Ganymede via Jupiter’s ...

Egg yolk may appear runny and uniform, but on the nanoscale, it is one of the most crowded biological fluids in nature. Packed with proteins and fats, it serves as a dense storage reservoir for a ...

For the modern technology leader, the quest for peak performance has traditionally been a matter of chemistry, an endless ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid transitioning into a supersolid.

Acoustic tweezers use sound waves to create a potential-energy well that can hold an object in place – they are the acoustic ...

A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...

A physicist proposes that the universe might not be empty but act like a viscous fluid, resisting expansion. This bold idea ...

If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...
