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 ...

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 thinner in oil is the easier it pumps through the engine, which leads to a fuel economy improvement. We can all understand that, but there's a lot more to oil viscosity than how thick it is. I ...

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 ...
