(Drexel University/Magic Pattern/Unsplash) Just when you think you've got a handle on how the Universe works, physics goes and surprises you again. Researchers have discovered that simple liquids can ...

Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain ...

Modeling the behavior of liquids is important for a wide range of applications, from industrial processes and medical devices to computer graphics and visual simulations. However, despite many years ...

Researchers discovered that liquids can suddenly snap like solids when stretched hard enough. This unexpected behavior challenges basic physics and could lead to new technological applications.

Every time you sit down with your phone in your back pocket, you’re reminded of a fundamental truth: Human bodies are soft and flexible. Electronics aren’t. But soon, there may be devices that can ...

Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...

In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple ...

The physics of liquid aspiration and dispensing make viscous liquid handling tricky. Some liquids (like glycerol) are impossible to accurately pipette manually, and can only be pipetted using an ...

(Phys.org)—A small team of researchers at Harvard University has found that crumpled sheets of Mylar hold a memory of how long they were crumpled. In their paper published in the journal Physical ...

Researchers from Tampere University in Finland and Anhui Jianzhu University in China have made a significant breakthrough in soft robotics. Their groundbreaking study introduces the first toroidal, ...
