If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

Researchers have developed a programmable meta-fluid with tunable springiness, optical properties, viscosity and even the ability to transition between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. The ...

I talk about how Newtonian fluids can have an effect similar to the Kaye effect of non-Newtonian fluids.

The flow behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids in complex geometries is fundamental to processes ranging from biomedical devices to energy production. Unlike Newtonian fluids, whose viscosity remains ...

When cornstarch and water are combined in the proper amounts, a substance that seems neither liquid nor solid is formed. When left alone, oobleck flows and settles like a liquid, then stiffens when ...
