Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain ...

In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple ...

Some metals are in liquid form, the prime example being mercury. But there are also enormous quantities of liquid metal in the Earth's core, where temperatures are so high that part of the iron is ...

Researchers at Drexel University have found that certain liquids can snap apart like solids when pulled hard enough, a ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. Mount Nyiragongo is a volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 18 ...

The experiments broadly confirmed the theoretical calculations, and enabled Dutta to estimate the decanting times for liquids of varying viscosities. Water, for example, decanted to the 90% level in ...

Explore the fascinating interaction between water, oil, and high voltage in this mind-blowing experiment. Watch as water and oil form floating bridges between glasses, flow through the air, and create ...

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, ...
