Consumer Reports' transmission maintenance FAQ on how to tell when your car's transmission needs servicing and what the ...

In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles ...

A new computational analysis supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. In a new paper, they show that ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a simple change in temperature. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker ...

#OctopusEffects, #aftereffects I shot a short video, then used Particular with the Physics of Fluids to make the cup dissolve ...

Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble solid ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite. The findings reveal an enigmatic, perfectly synchronized dance. The research team ...

To melt a solid, heat it. To freeze a liquid, cool it. It's simple—except when it isn't, because quantum mechanics can flip even the intuitive logic of melting and freezing on its head. Physicists ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope with a specially designed holder in which a spherical particle is “trapped”. Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are ...
