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 ...

Conventional wisdom holds that an electric current never returns to its source nor follows a circular path. Instead, it flows from one electrode to another following a local electric field, obeying ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A rocky landscape with a lake reflecting a yellow star in a purplish sky with clouds. An illustration of exoplanet Kepler-1649c orbiting around its host red dwarf star in the star’s habitable zone, ...
