Once inside the human body, infectious microbes like Salmonella face a fluid situation. They live in a watery world, surrounded by liquid continually flowing over and abrading their cell surfaces—a ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: Reyhaneh Farimani, University of ...

Dilatants are a class of non-Newtonian fluids characterized by their ability to transition from a fluid state to a near-solid state under shear stress due to a high concentration of solid particles ...

If I were asked to define what a fluid is, I would most likely use the definition I learned in grade school: a state of matter that flows and takes the form of the container it is in. Similarly, a ...

Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the viscosity of shear-thickening materials, turning solids to slush -- and back again. Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...

In new research, researchers explore the effects of physiological fluid shear on ST313 -- a particularly dangerous type of Salmonella, which is resistant to multiple antibiotics and currently ravaging ...
