The widely known principle of rotational viscometers is utilized for calculating the viscosity in most laboratory viscometers, by sensing the torque required for rotating a spindle at a constant speed ...

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, ...

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 ...

(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 ...

This feature allows them to operate below and above the range of gravity-based equipment, thus enabling the measurement of a much wider range of samples.1 Furthermore, they allow viscosity ...

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 ...
