A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving fluid handling in medical and engineering…

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or "morphologies," from ribbons and nanoscale sheets to rods and…

A new analysis supports the idea that particles of light (photons) colliding with heavy ions create a fluid of "strongly interacting" particles. The calculations are based on the hydrodynamic particle flow seen in collisions of various…

Ships are the main modes of transport for global trade as they are efficient and effective. Improving the aerodynamic performance of ship could reduce fuel consumption and improve speed, further improving the economics of shipping.…

My stomach has felt very uncomfortable for a while. I went for an ultrasound and I was told I have fluid in my endometrial cavity. I was referred to a gynaecologist but I can’t get an appointment for nine months. Can you tell me more about…

Unashamedly 'fluid' NRL cult hero Toby Rudolf has revealed his desperation to secure a spot on a Mardi Gras float after the league was knocked back in the wake of last year's pride jersey fiasco. The 27-year-old Sharks enforcer has done his…

The brain floats in a sea of fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to neurological conditions including Alzheimer's…

A group of researchers recently modeled the transmission of COVID-19 within an isolation room at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, U.K. Their goal was to explore the optimal room layout to reduce the risk of infection for health care…

The next frontier of continuous health monitoring could be skin deep. Biomedical engineers at the University of Cincinnati say interstitial fluid, the watery fluid found between and around cells, tissues or organs in the body, could provide…

A team led by UCL and UCLH researchers have mapped the parts of the brain that support our ability to solve problems without prior experience -- otherwise known as fluid intelligence. Fluid intelligence is arguably the defining feature of…
