In a research project that has real implications for their regular laboratory work, a pair of physicists at Brown University ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After a decade of preparation and two years of active experiments in space, a facility that Purdue University and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland designed, built and ...

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.

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 ...

Microswimmers: Studying how bacteria swim in complex fluids provides insight into how the micro-organisms move through different environments, such as inside the human body. (Courtesy: Cheng Research ...

Scientific discovery doesn't always require a high-tech laboratory or a hefty budget. Many people have a first-rate lab right in their own homes—their kitchen. The kitchen offers plenty of ...

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 ...

Abby Ledford worked on a fluid dynamics research project under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Bunton, head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNG. Amanda Ash and Jessica Hamilton presented ...

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