Fundamental constants: a minimum value of viscosity has been calculated by Kostya Trachenko and Vadim Brazhkin (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks). Viscosity is an everyday phenomenon recognizable in the ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

A number of microorganisms have a talent for viscotaxis – movement through fluids to areas of thicker consistency (or higher viscosity). Now, Benno Liebchen and colleagues at the ...

Fluid dynamics is the branch of physics concerning fluid flow. It is distinguishable from other disciplines in fluid mechanics as it deals with fluids in motion. In physics, a fluid is a substance ...

Nanoparticles have been shown to influence mechanical properties; however, transport properties such as viscosity have not been adequately studied. This might be due to the common observation that ...

We Americans are a nation of condiment lovers, with a special place in our stomachs for ketchup. Ranking second only to mayonnaise as the most popular condiment, ketchup is an $800 million industry in ...

The earliest attempt in the industry to link different viscosity cups' outcomes and associate each with mathematical formulas based on core measurements was made by a sub-committee within ASTM ...
