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 ...
To any one who, for the first time, sees a great stretch of sandy shore covered with innumerable ridges and furrows, as if combed with a giant comb, a dozen questions must immediately present ...
Physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, measured an elusive but fundamental property of fluid flow. University of ...
The Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power Lab is an academic teaching space for Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power courses. The Lab includes six pneumatic frame assemblies with various components for engineering ...
Scientists investigate the strange behavior of viscoelastic fluids in a series of specially designed experiments. Viscoelastic fluids are everywhere, whether racing through your veins or through 1,300 ...
The origin and nature of solar spicules – jets of plasma ejected from the Sun’s surface which early observers likened to prairie fires – have remained a matter of contention for astrophysicists since ...
