Glioblastoma—the most aggressive form of brain cancer—remains one of medicine's biggest challenges. Despite surgery, ...

"The pipe-flow problem has always been one of the most basic and important in the study of fluid mechanics, and in many ways the field was developed to address this problem," explains Ristroph, ...

Understanding and controlling the flow of liquids at the nanoscale is currently a subject of great interest. More than 100 papers describing work in nanofluidics have been published in the past five ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests ...

Researchers have looked at the brain and found that zoning out actually has an important biological purpose. Why do you ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Viscous fingering occurs when a thinner fluid pushes a thicker, more viscous fluid in a porous medium, like underground rock, ...

How real-time fluid management is reshaping metalworking operations. Manufacturers engaged in metalworking processes today ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Designers should always consider flow velocity through hose and tubing to optimize performance while avoiding excessive losses or pressure spikes. This aerospace high-pressure pump installation ...
