Turbulent heat transmission refers to the transfer of heat between a fluid and a solid surface when the fluid flow is turbulent. Turbulence occurs when…

The electrostatic effect of astriction between two surfaces subjected to an electrical field is known as electroadhesion. It is a phenomenon that occurs when two…

Microrheology is a technique used to measure the rheological properties of a medium, such as microviscosity, via the measurement of the trajectory of a flow…

Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a fluid (liquid or gas) state, but also as “soft solids” or solids under…

A magnetic flow meter (mag meter, electromagnetic flow meter) is a transducer that measures fluid flow by the voltage induced across the liquid by its…

Interfacial rheology is a branch of rheology that studies the flow of matter at the interface between a gas and a liquid or at the…

A researcher has solved the wall pursuit game, a nearly 60-year-old game theory quandary with implications for better reasoning about autonomous systems such as driverless…

A magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid, or MRF) is a type of smart fluid in a carrier fluid, typically oil. MR is a type of smart…

A distributed-element filter is an electronic filter in which the elements of the circuit (capacitance, inductance, and resistance) are not localized in discrete capacitors, inductors,…

Electrorheological (ER) fluids are electrically insulating suspensions of extremely fine non-conducting but electrically active particles (up to 50 micrometres in diameter). These are a type…

Curved spacetime is a concept introduced by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of…

Oxford University researchers recently developed a trapped-ion quantum network node with a built-in quantum memory. They discovered that their novel memory architecture, which was first…
