The idea of using nanobots to treat diseases has been around for years, though it has yet to be realized in any significant manner. Inspired by Purcell’s Scallop theorem, scientists from the Max ...

When the world’s expert on pygmy mammoths asks you a question about ketchup, you have to find the answer. The context was the article I wrote last week about non-Newtonian fluids, where researchers at ...

Three-dimensional simulations shed light on how energy dissipates within non-Newtonian fluids (fluids in which viscosity depend on the shear rate.) The result is valuable in the context of disaster ...

One of these is not like the others: honey, water, ketchup, and blood. The answer? Water, because the other three are all non-Newtonian fluid. When Isaac Newton first defined the properties of an ...

In the most basic of terms, rheology can be considered the study of flow behavior in materials, whether solid, liquid, or gas. Rheology recognizes that certain solids respond with plastic flow in ...
