If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...

The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

Propel your career forward with an accredited graduate certificate. Michigan Tech's graduate on-campus and online certificate in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) equips you to be a versatile analyst ...

A study inspired by street performers making gigantic soap bubbles led to a discovery in fluid mechanics: Mixing different molecular sizes of polymers within a solution increases the ability of a thin ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

Fluid flow analysis reveals that both swimming and sessile ciliates achieve competitive nutrient uptake, resolving the ...

A small crystal of the new material. (Courtesy: Fazel Tafti, Boston College) A team of researchers in the US has discovered that electrons in a transition metal superconductor called ditetrelide flow ...

Introduction Do you ever wonder why we perform tasks in a particular way? Very often we learn by copying someone and never stop to question if there is a more efficient or easier way to do something.
