A paper proposes that outer space acts like viscous fluid, which if true could explain discrepancies in observations of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
