An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...

Dilatants are a class of non-Newtonian fluids characterized by their ability to transition from a fluid state to a near-solid state under shear stress due to a high concentration of solid particles ...

Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the viscosity of shear-thickening materials, turning solids to slush -- and back again. Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...
