I was kind of shocked and amazed by a recent publication in NanoLetters. It seems that viscosity measurements are still difficult. In my ignorance, I had assumed that this was a solved problem. And, ...

Viscosity is a key property of fluids, influencing diffusion, mobility and quite a few other features. There are many methods for measuring macroscopic viscosity, but determining microscopic viscosity ...

Viscosity is one of the standard physical properties used for qualifying many industrial products. Various types of viscometers are available, of which the rotational viscometer is the most efficient ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In medical applications, artificial micro/nanorobots have gained a lot of attention over the last decade due to their promise to behave as ingestible vehicles of drug delivery to ...

Anton Paar has introduced a new measurement system for pharmaceutical quality control that sets the highest standards in ...

Sound waves can measure viscosity on the fly. Though viscosity is the degree to which a fluid resists flow, it is more specifically a measure of a fluid's molecular friction. It can be a useful ...

Discover Lovis 2001, a one-of-a-kind rolling-ball microviscometer that operates on Hoeppler's falling ball principle. This falling ball viscometer has an adjustable measurement angle, which ensures ...

A research team led by MedUni Vienna has shown in a study that purely optical measurements of the viscosity of blood plasma may provide information about the severity and progression of COVID-19. The ...

Relationship between a measure of structural disorder and viscosity for a polydisperse hard-sphere-like system. The relationship between the structural measure and the viscosity can be collapsed on ...

Measuring viscosity is critical to knowing if your protein and formulation will be well-behaved, or if they will really disrupt the flow of things during administration. Too bad most ways of measuring ...

The 2018 Kilauea eruption provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions. “The study is very unusual ...
