Researchers have simulated supercooled liquids subjected to Couette shear flow. The rapid drop in viscosity under shear was related to the liquids' two-body structural entropy. The study showed that ...
The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...
Tokyo - Researchers at The University of Tokyo discover that the two-body structural entropy is the key quantity to understanding the dynamics of sheared supercooled liquids and also the mechanism ...
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2022 – Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular ...
