El Capitan, the fastest supercomputer in the world, can now simulate extreme events like shock waves or fluid mixing at high ...

There’s a lot of physics going on inside a cold glass of beer. This is especially the case right after the initial pour, when ...

New research shows how small meniscus changes control liquid waves in low gravity, helping spacecraft systems run lighter.

What looks like ordinary sand, rocks or snow flowing in one direction can actually hide swirling currents that move in ...

In everyday life, all matter exists as either a gas, liquid, or solid. In quantum mechanics, however, it is possible for two ...

In our article “The hidden subtlety of beer foam stability: A blueprint for advanced foam formulations” (Phys. Fluids, 2025), ...

Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out how flowing fluids exert forces and move structures, thereby revealing the answer to this long-standing mystery.

The experiment will be used to study how fluids behave in low gravity, providing information that could help engineers design better components for a variety of technologies used both on the Earth ...

Negative mass was just a theory until scientists found a way to recreate its impact in a laboratory. Now, everything about ...

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 ...

One recent experiment followed a photon fluid passing through a small barrier potential, and another looked at the Rayleigh–Taylor instability in a stratified photon fluid.
