One of the smaller mysteries of science is the non-Newtonian liquid. While its study may not be as glamorous as making robots or exploring space, there are still mysteries that surround this amazing ...

Quicksand and other non-Newtonian fluids share properties with both liquids and solids. Non-Newtonian fluids consist of tiny grains suspended in liquid, with the appearance of a solid or gel. Stand on ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

Turns out, walking on water isn't as impossible as it might sound — as long as you have the right kind of water. Following is a transcript of the video. These people are "walking on water." The ...

Dilatants are a class of non-Newtonian fluids characterized by their ability to transition from a fluid state to a near-solid state under shear stress due to a high concentration of solid particles ...

You may be familiar with a common science demonstration done in classrooms: If you mix cornstarch and water together in the right proportions, you create a gooey material that seems to defy the rules ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...
