Handling of volumes in the mL range of highly viscous liquids such as 99 % glycerol, detergents or collagen in the laboratory and for analytical purposes has proven difficult, requiring the use of ...

Liquid jet is utilized in various key technologies such as inkjet printing. However, most methods can eject only low viscosity liquid, which is almost the same viscosity of water. This limitation of ...

Much like their natural counterparts, artificial molecular machines are expected to operate in an environment where viscous forces dominate inertial forces (low Reynolds number). However, building ...

Oil contamination from various human activities (such as oil spills from production, transportation, shipping, and storage) and natural events (e.g., natural seepage) has caused significant ...

Homogeneity is the most desirable factor in the process of mixing. However, achieving homogeneity is a challenging task for mixing highly viscous materials. A turbine-type mixer creates a chaotic flow ...

Going down: a droplet of honey in a superhydrophobic coated tube. (Courtesy: Aalto University) Honey and other highly viscous fluids can flow faster than water in specially coated capillary tubes.

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. — A division of Becton, Dickinson and Co. has introduced a thin-walled needle for injecting highly viscous drug formulations. BD Medical announced Wednesday the introduction of ...

Increased monitoring of foodstuffs can help to establish quality attributes in real-time during the processing stage, and so permit better process control. The efficiency of a process and the quality ...
