What if a material that looks solid could actually flow… over nearly a century? Launched in 1927 by an Australian professor to illustrate viscosity, an experiment of disarming simplicity has become a ...

Although many geodynamical mechanisms have been proposed regarding the origin of the observed complex structure of Earth’s inner core, no clear consensus has been reached. This is partly owing to the ...

Although water’s shear viscosity is important in accurate molecular dynamics modeling, the results from two popular water models differ from those of actual experiments by as much as 20%. In a recent ...

Experiments using heavy crude oil samples from PetroChina's Shengli oil field show ultrasonic irradiation can reduce viscosity by up to 85%, enhancing oil recovery. Increasing production from the ...
