NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...

The miniaturization of preclinical safety assessment studies using a microfluidic chip system and optical microscopy can help reduce compound requirements, time, and costs in formulation development.

They coil. They swing. They fold. They meander. Streams of honey, oil and other viscous fluids can do things that physicists still don't fully understand If you like honey on your toast at breakfast, ...

In things thick and thin: Physicists now explain how fluids -- such as paint or paste -- behave by observing how micron-sized suspended particles dance in real time. Using high-speed microscopy, the ...

Fault zones play a key role in shaping the deformation of the Earth's crust. All of these zones contain fluids, which heavily influence how earthquakes propagate. In an article published today in ...
