Purdue University researchers are designing and building an experiment that will operate during a test flight of a new type of reusable rocket to be launched by aerospace company Blue Origin LLC. The ...

Scientific discovery doesn’t always require a high-tech laboratory or a hefty budget. Many people have a first-rate lab right in their own homes – their kitchen. The kitchen offers plenty of ...

To any one who, for the first time, sees a great stretch of sandy shore covered with innumerable ridges and furrows, as if combed with a giant comb, a dozen questions must immediately present ...

A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving ...

Physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, measured an elusive but fundamental property of fluid flow. University of ...

The Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power Lab is an academic teaching space for Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power courses. The Lab includes six pneumatic frame assemblies with various components for engineering ...

Scientists investigate the strange behavior of viscoelastic fluids in a series of specially designed experiments. Viscoelastic fluids are everywhere, whether racing through your veins or through 1,300 ...

Surprising oil drop experiments suggest that the quantum world may not be as strange as advertised. For nearly a century, “reality” has been a murky concept. The laws of quantum physics seem to ...

University of Chicago physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, achieved the first measurements of an elusive but ...
