Shear-Thinning at Home
Shear-thinning isn’t just confined to canned whipped cream. It’s also a feature of such non-Newtonian fluids as ketchup, shampoo, latex paint, and blood. The NASA research on shear-thinning the video Keep reading
Supercritical Fluids
Supercritical fluids live in the region of a phase diagram beyond the critical point. At these temperatures and pressures, a substance is neither strictly liquid nor a gas but exhibits Keep reading
