The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

Whether it's water flowing across a condenser plate in an industrial plant, or air whooshing through heating and cooling ducts, the flow of fluid across flat surfaces is a phenomenon at the heart of ...

At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have ...

A new, AI-based technique for measuring fluid flow in the brain could lead to treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's. A new artificial intelligence-based technique for measuring fluid flow around ...

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...

Scientific progress is not usually straightforward. Researchers pursue and abandon lines of inquiry. Results languish. Theories take decades to cohere. But sometimes the accumulation of scientific ...

For most fluids, an increase in pressure should lead to a burst of speed, like squeezing ketchup from a tube. But when flowing through porous materials such as soil or sedimentary rock, certain ...

It's a common misconception that fluids with different flow rate requirements always need separate pumps. In reality, that's not necessarily the case. Image Credit: Fluid Metering, Inc. When working ...

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke investigators at the National Institutes of Health traced meningeal ...

A new artificial intelligence-based technique for measuring fluid flow around the brain’s blood vessels could have big implications for developing treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The ...
