Researchers have simulated supercooled liquids subjected to Couette shear flow. The rapid drop in viscosity under shear was related to the liquids' two-body structural entropy. The study showed that ...
From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their ...
