Fundamental constants: a minimum value of viscosity has been calculated by Kostya Trachenko and Vadim Brazhkin (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks). Viscosity is an everyday phenomenon recognizable in the ...

High-viscosity fluids, on the other hand, behave quite differently. They flow slowly, resist deformation, and, in some cases, act more like solids than liquids, posing challenges when it comes to ...

Scientists have demonstrated that the viscosity of fluids present in faults has a direct effect on the intensity of earthquakes. Fault zones play a key role in shaping the deformation of the Earth's ...

(MENAFN- GetNews) Dive into the Lonnmeter viscosity measurement solution for pipeline networks and industrial high-viscosity mixer in stream. Optimize your processes with precision solution of inline ...

Swimming bacteria can reduce the viscosity of ordinary liquids like water and make them flow more easily, sometimes down to the point where the viscosity becomes zero: the flow is then frictionless.

The viscosity of extracellular fluid is a key physical cue, but its impact on cell function and cancer-cell dissemination has remained largely unknown. Experiments in various systems reveal that ...

New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In medical applications, artificial micro/nanorobots have gained a lot of attention over the last decade due to their promise to behave as ingestible vehicles of drug delivery to ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New research findings are yielding insights into the physics behind the swimming behavior of bacteria and spermatozoa that could lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms ...

The effects of automatic transmission fluid viscosity on the low-temperature performance of a front-wheel-drive transaxle were determined in a cold room maintained at a temperature of -20° F (-28.9° C ...
