At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have ...

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 ...

Physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, measured an elusive but fundamental property of fluid flow. University of ...

Fault zones play a key role in shaping the deformation of the Earth's crust. All of these zones contain fluids, which heavily influence how earthquakes propagate. In an article published today in ...

University of Chicago physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, achieved the first measurements of an elusive but ...

They coil. They swing. They fold. They meander. Streams of honey, oil and other viscous fluids can do things that physicists still don't fully understand If you like honey on your toast at breakfast, ...

Create a fascinating substance named after Dr. Seuss's story "Bartholomew and the Oobleck"! This strange material acts like a liquid when handled gently but becomes solid when force is applied. It's a ...
