A viscous bubble film with sufficiently large viscosity will collapse under the force of surface tension. Credit: Oliver McRae What causes a bubble to burst? For bubbles on the surface of viscous ...

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability, a classical phenomenon occurring when a denser fluid overlays a lighter one under the influence of gravity, has long been a subject of intensive study. Recent research ...

They coil. They swing. They fold. They meander. Streams of honey, oil and other viscous fluids can do things that physicists still don't fully understand If you like honey on your toast at breakfast, ...
