If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

Quicksand and other non-Newtonian fluids share properties with both liquids and solids. Non-Newtonian fluids consist of tiny grains suspended in liquid, with the appearance of a solid or gel. Stand on ...

Slime exhibits some crazy unusual properties, like viscoelasticity, because it's a non-newtonian fluid. We can use non-newtonian properties to make the fluid "defy gravity" and climb up a spinning rod ...

THE value of “normal” hysteresis experiments in rheology was recently discussed by Harris 1, who observed that hysteresis loops could be obtained even with Newtonian fluids and that steady oscillatory ...
