When the world's expert on pygmy mammoths asks you a question about ketchup, you have to find the answer. The context was the article I wrote last week about non-Newtonian fluids, where researchers at ...

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 ...

Non-Newtonian fluid flows deviate from classical Newtonian behaviour by exhibiting viscosities that vary under different shear conditions. In these fluids the viscosity is not constant but responds ...

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 ...

In this video, people use all kinds of ways to travel across “oobleck,” a non-Newtonian fluid that has the properties of both a liquid and a solid. In short, if you apply sudden force (like stomping ...

One of these is not like the others: honey, water, ketchup, and blood. The answer? Water, because the other three are all non-Newtonian fluid. When Isaac Newton first defined the properties of an ...
