The connection between random grain motion and viscosity in shaken sand — a strongly non-equilibrium system — has been probed. Curiously, the link is similar to that found in an ordinary liquid in ...

The study of the rheology of suspensions and granular materials occupies a pivotal role at the crossroads of materials science, physics and engineering. This field examines how particulate systems ...

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 recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884752B2) discloses an inhibited non-chemically modified non-pregelatinized granular starch with unique properties. The starch exhibits a continuous ...
