New results from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider show energetic quarks creating wake-like ripples in quark-gluon plasma, ...
NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...
Imagine walking from one side of a swimming pool to the other. Each step takes great effort -- that's what makes water aerobics such effective physical exercise. Imagine walking from one side of a ...
If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...
A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving ...
(Nanowerk News) Working together to study friction on the atomic scale, researchers at UC Merced and the University of Pennsylvania have conducted the first atomic-scale experiments and simulations of ...
A figure from Osborne Reynolds's 1883 paper, showing Reynolds's assistant standing next to apparatus used to measure friction in different types of flow. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...
