"This report indicated a lack of fundamental models of how fluids behave in microgravity. That's when I began work with NASA Glenn to create an experimental facility to study fluid flow and phase ...

A new physics-informed AI framework turns MRI tracer data into detailed maps of brain fluid movement, revealing how slow diffusion and faster directed flow may shape the brain’s waste-clearing system.

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

University of Michigan physicists have devised a way to manipulate active fluids, a type of fluid composed of individual units that can propel themselves independently, by taking advantage of ...

A popular hypothesis for how the brain clears molecular waste, which may help explain why sleep feels refreshing, is a subject of debate. Encased in the skull, perched atop the spine, the brain has a ...

Magnetohydrodynamic flow dynamics in non-Newtonian fluids investigates how electrically conducting complex fluids respond to magnetic fields, combining electromagnetic forces with shear-dependent ...

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 ...
