A MOST peculiar paradox in the general area of viscous flow and diffusion is the fact that while the absence of slip between the surface of very large diffusing particles and the surrounding medium is ...

Abstract: Enhancement of diffusion and reaction processes by advection is a classical subject that has been extensively studied by both physicists and mathematicians. In this talk I will consider ...

Our best models of the cosmos don't add up — but that could change if the universe is actually made of a viscous 'fluid,' a new paper suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

The international collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan and Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) in India has explored, for the first time, ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Inspired by micro-scale motions of nature, a group of researchers has developed a new design for transporting colloidal particles, tiny cargo suspended in substances such as fluids or gels, more ...

There’s endless debate among cosmologists about what really makes up the emptiness of outer space, though many believe that mysterious stuff that we now call dark matter and dark energy represent a ...

Honey is already a pretty thick liquid, but let it begin to crystalize and it can become downright clumpy. The sugar crystals in suspension seem to increase its viscosity. This phenomenon occurs ...

A viscous bubble film with sufficiently large viscosity will collapse under the force of surface tension. Credit: Oliver McRae What causes a bubble to burst? For bubbles on the surface of viscous ...
