Lab top accretion disc: Cutaway diagram of the experimental setup used by Wang and colleagues. The data shown in the left portion of the gap between cylinders illustrates the simulated shear profile ...

Purdue University researchers are designing and building an experiment that will operate during a test flight of a new type of reusable rocket to be launched by aerospace company Blue Origin LLC. The ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...

Rheology, high-speed imaging, and velocimetry combined to characterize how some roller-based nozzles perform so well with non ...

Slime exhibits some crazy unusual properties, like viscoelasticity, because it's a non-newtonian fluid. We can use non-newtonian properties to make the fluid "defy gravity" and climb up a spinning rod ...
