In high school science class, we learned that plugging a cable into an electrical circuit sets off a flow of electrons, powering everything from our lights to our phones. Traditionally, we've ...

Vorticity, a measure of the local rotation or swirling motion in a fluid, has long been studied by physicists and mathematicians. The dynamics of vorticity is governed by the famed Navier-Stokes ...

Researchers thought that what enabled complex fluids to break apart was their elasticity. But a crack in a nonelastic simple ...

By modeling dehydration-driven fluid pressure, a new study links deep fluids to where megathrust earthquakes end and slow slip begins.

When they reach the bottom of a soap dispenser, frugal handwashers might try adding water to the bottle to push out the last bit of soap. But usually, the water drills right through the soap and jets ...

Cosmologists are facing an unexpected puzzle. The latest observations do not perfectly match the mathematical model used for decades to describe the evolution of the Universe. This model, called ΛCDM ...
