The harder they’re hit, the stronger they are. They stop bullets and let people walk on custard. They’re non-newtonian fluids. Here’s a tip for obsessive lovers, smothering parents, and over ...

Oobleck has long been my favorite example of a non-Newtonian fluid, and I'm not alone.It's a hugely popular "kitchen science" experiment because it's simple and easy to make. Mix one part water to ...

We may finally understand why non-Newtonian fluids act so strange. / Hard Science / NIST / Non Newtonian Fluids / Oobleck Updated 5.13.16, 9:49 AM EDT by Jelor Gallego ...

These are non-Newtonian fluids; substances whose viscosity changes based on how much pressure you apply to them. For instance, tip a tub of thick yogurt upside-down and it will slowly ooze out.

Non-Newtonian fluid flows deviate from classical Newtonian behaviour by exhibiting viscosities that vary under different shear conditions. In these fluids the viscosity is not constant but ...

Non-Newtonian fluids are solid if you apply a sudden force and liquid if you apply a steady, slow force. How can something be a solid and a liquid? In the mix, ...

Non-Newtonian fluids consist of tiny grains suspended in liquid, with the appearance of a solid or gel. Stand on quicksand and you will sink (though not as rapidly as movies and cartoons suggest).

In this video, people use all kinds of ways to travel across "oobleck," a non-Newtonian fluid that has the properties of both a liquid and a solid. In short, if you apply sudden force (like ...

Non-Newtonian fluids are much fun, but we’re also happy to see them put to use. The same principle works in special speed bumps to allow safe drivers to continue driving but jolts speeders.

Welcome to Science Class 101. I’m your teacher for the next few minutes, to break down what it is about D3O’s non-Newtonian material that makes its upcoming range of helmet protection ...
