"The UN estimates that by 2050, common bacterial infections could kill more people than cancer," says Arnold Mathijssen, a ...

A $1 million prize awaits anyone who can show where the math of fluid flow breaks down. With specially trained AI systems, ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

Every fluid -- from Earth's atmosphere to blood pumping through the human body -- has viscosity, a quantifiable characteristic describing how the fluid will deform when it encounters some other matter ...

Cleaning processes play a pivotal role in a range of industrial and environmental applications, from pharmaceutical manufacturing to food processing and oil recovery. By harnessing the principles of ...

A new artificial intelligence-based technique for measuring fluid flow around the brain’s blood vessels could have big implications for developing treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The ...

The famed Navier-Stokes equations can lead to cases where more than one result is possible, but only in an extremely narrow set of situations. For nearly two centuries, all kinds of researchers ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After a decade of preparation and two years of active experiments in space, a facility that Purdue University and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland designed, built and ...

When we talk about climate change, we tend to focus on its more tangible effects: extreme heat, ocean warming, melting glaciers, and so on. But anywhere from 500 meters to a few kilometers beneath our ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

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, ...
