From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their ...

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 ...

Shear force is any force corresponding to a material’s surface. In liquid, for example, this leads to friction between fluid particles, leading to particle size reduction. In high shear mixing, shear ...

Dense drops of oobleck with high shear rates spread out like a liquid before stiffening into a solid.
