It expands, it contracts, it gets stronger, it lets up — it reacts to changing conditions in formidable and comfortable ways. And the adventures of shear-thickening fluid, invented by University of ...

Researchers using a high-speed camera have captured the moments a fluid reacts like a solid, through a new method of fluid observation under pressurized conditions. They examined fluids that have a ...

The next generation of protective equipment is looking a lot less bulky and a lot more fluid. Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are novel field-responsive materials that can be engineered to be useful ...

For the first time, researchers have been able capture images providing unprecedented details of how particles behave in a liquid suspension when the phenomenon known as shear thickening takes place.
