Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them ...

Stewart McCorkle Faculty Fellow Brett G. Compton coauthored a comprehensive review on the physics of direct-ink writing (DIW) ...

Scientists shed new light on the chaotic motion of a solid body moving through a fluid. They claim to have discovered two basic mechanisms that lead to chaotic motion of the body as it interacts with ...

Tangled chains lead to shear thickening Simulations showing the emergence of chains of particles in a suspension. The image on the left shows isolated chains in a suspension with a relatively low ...

Researchers using a high-speed camera have captured the moments a fluid reacts like a solid, through a new method of fluid observation under pressurized conditions. They examined fluids that have a ...

Welcome to the home page of the first International Conference on Mechanics of Complex Solids and Fluids (ICMCSF) that will take place on May 17th till 22th 2015 in Lille, France. Scope Engineering ...

I wear eyeglasses (you may too) and blow on them when they are dusty. The large dust particles blow off easily but the small particles do not. But why not? This familiar occurrence illustrates the ...

Engineers reinvent the 5,000-year-old gear using fluids instead of solid teeth.
