Detailed lab experiments provide fresh insight into the physics of fluid-fluid displacement in porous media, crucial to applications like carbon dioxide sequestration or fuel cell operation. One of ...

From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their flow properties change depending on how much force is applied, but the ...

Anyone who has seen the popular animation classic The Lion King would remember the sequence in which the old lion is crushed to death by a horde of rushing wildebeest. What has this got to do with ...

The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

A mathematics professor at The University of Manchester has developed a novel machine-learning method to detect sudden changes in fluid behaviour, improving speed and cost of identifying these ...

Topological Quantum Fluids group at the Department of Applied Physics, is seeking outstanding candidates for the position of Postdoctoral Researcher ...

During its teenage and young adult years—what is now referred to as its “classical” period—physics made a lot of mistakes. In the old physics, mass and energy were separately conserved; particles’ ...
