Fundamental constants: a minimum value of viscosity has been calculated by Kostya Trachenko and Vadim Brazhkin (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks). Viscosity is an everyday phenomenon recognizable in the ...

High-viscosity fluids, on the other hand, behave quite differently. They flow slowly, resist deformation, and, in some cases, act more like solids than liquids, posing challenges when it comes to ...

Scientists have demonstrated that the viscosity of fluids present in faults has a direct effect on the intensity of earthquakes. Fault zones play a key role in shaping the deformation of the Earth's ...

Tumor cells traverse many different types of fluids as they travel through the body. Christoph Burgstedt/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is ...

(MENAFN- GetNews) Dive into the Lonnmeter viscosity measurement solution for pipeline networks and industrial high-viscosity mixer in stream. Optimize your processes with precision solution of inline ...

The viscosity of extracellular fluid is a key physical cue, but its impact on cell function and cancer-cell dissemination has remained largely unknown. Experiments in various systems reveal that ...

Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is essential to both normal body function and disease progression. Cell movement is what allows body parts to grow in the right place during early ...

The trade-offs necessary to choose a fluid involve a consideration of application requirements such as health, safety, and environmental effects, and fluid properties such as viscosity, stability, ...

Swimming bacteria can reduce the viscosity of ordinary liquids like water and make them flow more easily, sometimes down to the point where the viscosity becomes zero: the flow is then frictionless.

New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New research findings are yielding insights into the physics behind the swimming behavior of bacteria and spermatozoa that could lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms ...
