If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

The first ever camera footage from inside a centrifuge has revealed a new mystery in the physics of fluids. A centrifuge is a standard piece of laboratory equipment that spins fluid samples at high ...

Physicists from Brown University have done math (and experiments) to see just how long it takes for the last drops of fluid to pour out of kitchen containers. PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — At ...

In a significant advance for semiconductor manufacturing, mechanical engineers created a simulation that makes it easier to choose environmentally friendly water jet and underwater ultrasound ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...
