The study, published January 13 in Physical Review Letters, replaces the metal or plastic cogs of conventional gears with controlled flows of liquid. In their experiments, ...
A new study reimagines the 3,000-year-old technology using fluids, avoiding the most annoying limitations of teeth-driven ...
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 ...
Stable isotope analysis suggests that, before Roman aqueducts, residents of the city may have soaked in dirty water ...

Understanding Viscosity

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 ...
A great deal of research and new technology have advanced the fields of oil lubrication and contamination through oil filters. If you still think (as many do), that “All oil filters do the same thing, ...
For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such ...
In fluid dynamics, viscosity refers to the physical property that characterizes a fluid’s resistance to flow (1). Most fluids can be classified as Newtonian or non-Newtonian (2). The viscosity of a ...
Gas injection is one of the important techniques for enhanced oil recovery and has received strong attention in recent years. The gases injected during the gas injection process are mainly hydrocarbon ...
