A video shared by the Twitter account Amazing Physics on Oct. 27, 2021, showed a person squirting two dots of ink, one green and one red, into a clear vat of fluid. That person then grabbed a crank ...

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you dropped a sphere of jelly on floor? The answer to this and other pressing questions in fluid dynamics have appeared on the arXiv preprint server as a ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding ...

Slime exhibits some crazy unusual properties, like viscoelasticity, because it's a non-newtonian fluid. We can use non-newtonian properties to make the fluid "defy gravity" and climb up a spinning rod ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

Researchers at Penn, led by Physics and Astronomy professor Arnold Mathijssen, have discovered ways to achieve quality coffee extraction using fewer beans. Published in “Physics of Fluids,” the ...
