What do paint, dishwasher detergent, ketchup and blood have in common? All are composed of particles suspended in a carrier liquid, flow when stirred or forced, but remain thick or even gel-like at ...

Shear thickening fluids are dense suspensions that exhibit a striking increase in viscosity when subjected to applied stress or shear rate. At rest or under gentle flow these materials behave like low ...

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, ...

Researchers using a high-speed camera have captured the moments a fluid reacts like a solid, through a new method of fluid observation under pressurized conditions. They examined fluids that have a ...

If I were asked to define what a fluid is, I would most likely use the definition I learned in grade school: a state of matter that flows and takes the form of the container it is in. Similarly, a ...

For the first time, researchers have been able capture images providing unprecedented details of how particles behave in a liquid suspension when the phenomenon known as shear thickening takes place.
