Engineers have predicted how tiny hairs lining blood vessels and intestines bend to flowing fluid. The results may help to design microfluidic devices such as hydraulic valves and diodes. Our bodies ...

Knots are not just for shoelaces and sailing lines. In the last decade, physicists have shown that swirling liquids can ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A blood vessel is an elastic tube, and its changing shape affects the properties of the fluid flowing inside it. Conversely, the fluid flow itself also affects the shape of the ...

For the first time, physicists have recorded sound waves moving through a perfect fluid with the lowest possible viscosity, as permitted by the laws of quantum mechanics, an ascending glissando of the ...

ICU Medical recalled IV sets due missing valve that may cause uncontrolled fluid flow; FDA urges discontinuation and ...

They introduced the drugs at varying rates of fluid flow and found that, while the bacteria thrived at no or low fluid flow, the antibiotics killed the bacteria at higher flow rates. Anytime you take ...
