Associate Professor Jonathan Boreyko and graduate fellow Mojtaba Edalatpour have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to…
A multitude of swirling clouds in Jupiter’s dynamic North North Temperate Belt is captured in this image from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Appearing in the scene…
It’s all about momentum — and tiny amounts of liquid right at the spout. Scientists at TU Wien answer an age-old question: How can the…
Visualization of the spread of droplets when coughing. The droplets are color-coded by size. Red = large, green = medium, blue = small, purple =…
Princeton researchers have developed a technique to better understand how polymers flow through small channels under pressure. Credit: David Kelly Crow Princeton researchers have solved…
The mucus layer on the underside of a snail foot is one example of a soft material that yields to stress up to a certain…
