"The UN estimates that by 2050, common bacterial infections could kill more people than cancer," says Arnold Mathijssen, a biophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania who studies how active ...

A new, AI-based technique for measuring fluid flow in the brain could lead to treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's. A new artificial intelligence-based technique for measuring fluid flow around ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

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 ...

"People know there is a lot of fluid between cells in tissues, but how important that is, in particular in tissue deformation, is completely ignored," says Ming Guo, associate professor of mechanical ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

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, ...

For most fluids, an increase in pressure should lead to a burst of speed, like squeezing ketchup from a tube. But when flowing through porous materials such as soil or sedimentary rock, certain ...

It's a common misconception that fluids with different flow rate requirements always need separate pumps. In reality, that's not necessarily the case. Image Credit: Fluid Metering, Inc. When working ...

A new artificial intelligence-based technique for measuring fluid flow around the brain’s blood vessels could have big implications for developing treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The ...
