High-viscosity fluids, on the other hand, behave quite differently. They flow slowly, resist deformation, and, in some cases, act more like solids than liquids, posing challenges when it comes to ...

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 ...

New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

Cosmologists are facing an unexpected puzzle. The latest observations do not perfectly match the mathematical model used for decades to describe the evolution of the Universe. This model, ...

In three spatial dimensions, it is a close relative of the quark-gluon plasma, the super-hot state of matter that hasn’t existed since the tiniest fraction of a second after the big bang that started ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...
