Have you ever turned a liquid into a solid just by tapping on it? Watch this fun video and learn how to conduct a viscosity experiment at home with a few simple steps! Click here to download a PDF of ...

Is pitch a liquid or a solid? It turns out that while it appears to be a solid at room temperature, it actually flows like a liquid ... a very, very viscous liquid. Why is this interesting? One of the ...

NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...

It took seven decades, but the pitch has finally been caught in the act. Since 1944, physicists at Trinity College in Dublin have been trying to measure the viscosity of pitch tar, a polymer seemingly ...

“Oh yes, watching paint dry would be far, far more interesting,” says Andrew White, a quantum physicist at Australia’s University of Queensland and custodian of the world’s longest continually run — ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. Mount Nyiragongo is a volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 18 ...

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, ...
