Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to ...

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you dropped a sphere of jelly on floor? The answer to this and other pressing questions in fluid dynamics have appeared on the arXiv preprint server as a ...

Slime exhibits some crazy unusual properties, like viscoelasticity, because it's a non-newtonian fluid. We can use non-newtonian properties to make the fluid "defy gravity" and climb up a spinning rod ...

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 at Penn, led by Physics and Astronomy professor Arnold Mathijssen, have discovered ways to achieve quality coffee extraction using fewer beans. Published in “Physics of Fluids,” the ...
