I was kind of shocked and amazed by a recent publication in NanoLetters. It seems that viscosity measurements are still difficult. In my ignorance, I had assumed that this was a solved problem. And, ...

NIMS and Harvard University jointly developed a technique capable of measuring the viscosity of both liquids and gasses using the same device. This device can be used to identify unknown fluids based ...

Viscosity is a key property of fluids, influencing diffusion, mobility and quite a few other features. There are many methods for measuring macroscopic viscosity, but determining microscopic viscosity ...

Viscometers are used by the food industry to ensure the consistency and quality of liquid foods. Zwick Roell claims its new tester provides what the company claims is an economical alternative to ...

Pharmaceutical companies have increasingly focused on developing high-concentration protein therapeutics that enable patients to treat themselves at home by self injection. However, the formulation of ...

Viscosity, a measure of a liquid’s fluidity, is measured through a substance’s resistance to motion under an applied force. Viscosity is also known as a fluid’s thickness. It is calculated by dividing ...

A noninvasive method measures the viscosity in a cell nucleus by observing the movement and fusion of cellular components. Cell portraits. A pair of nucleoli (red) inside a cell nucleus (green) move ...

Millions of people live near active volcanoes that are constantly monitored for signs of an impending eruption. When one occurs, scientists and governments rely on data to estimate the extent of the ...

For years, doctors have relied on familiar vital signs—heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and oxygen levels—to monitor someone's health. But researchers at the University of Missouri believe one ...
