Encapsulated microbubbles (EMBs), tiny gas-filled bubbles coated in lipid or protein shells, play a central role in ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, ...

Researchers from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have leveraged their expertise in microfluidics to develop a novel method for deforming cells mechanically to facilitate ...

Liquid droplets of protein and RNA have traits reminiscent of a childhood joy: Silly Putty. That’s according to a study by scientists at UB and Iowa State University, who have created such droplets in ...

We precisely measure the force-free swimming speed of a rotating helix in viscous and viscoelastic fluids. The fluids are highly viscous to replicate the low Reynolds number environment of ...

Researchers report nontoxic, biodegradable viscoelastic carrier fluids to enhance the retention of fire retardants on wildfire-prone vegetation through increased resistance to environmental exposure ...

Scientists have developed a new method that improves dispensing of viscoelastic fluids - a vital process for circuit board production, 3D printing and other industrial applications. The scientists ...

Film casting is a critical industrial process for the production of polymer films used in a wide range of applications, from energy storage membranes to packaging and coatings. Recent advances have ...

The Weissenberg Effect happens when a fluid behaves in a very counter-intuitive way. Instead of being driven away from a spinning object, it starts climbing. Take a look at something you may have seen ...
