Understanding and controlling the flow of liquids at the nanoscale is currently a subject of great interest. More than 100 papers describing work in nanofluidics have been published in the past five ...

Researchers report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. The study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

Designers should always consider flow velocity through hose and tubing to optimize performance while avoiding excessive losses or pressure spikes. This aerospace high-pressure pump installation ...

Innovative micro- and nanoscale designs enhance thermal management, addressing overheating in electronics. They may be the ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Those Transportation Security Administration requirements are drilled into ...

Waves of cerebrospinal fluid which normally wash over brains during sleep can be made to pulse in the brains of people who are wide awake, a new study finds. The clear fluid may flush out harmful ...
