Microswimmers: Studying how bacteria swim in complex fluids provides insight into how the micro-organisms move through different environments, such as inside the human body. (Courtesy: Cheng Research ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and algorithms to analyze and predict the behavior of fluids and gases under various conditions. This field ...

The texture of food is an important part of enjoying foods. In order to completely understand these properties, better methods for testing are required to capture the motion inside liquid materials, ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...

Traditional lensmaking is a grind — literally. One starts with a piece of glass, rubs it against an abrasive surface to wear away the excess bits, and eventually gets it to just the right shape and ...

In the 1960s, drillers noticed that certain fluids would firm up if they flowed too fast. Researchers have finally explained why. Fluids can be roughly divided into two categories: regular ones and ...
