The bold question-askers at What If explain what makes honey a fascinating non-Newtonian fluid. Senate Approves Banning ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils ...

Three Myths (And Three Odd Truths) About ‘The Wizard of Oz' Trump’s biggest round of tariffs is coming next week. Here is how it could shake up the economy Houston's defense carries Cougars ...

The researchers say that one of their main motivations was to develop a shock absorber that could be used to build flexible phone screens. Their work establishes a framework to optimize the squeezing ...

Jaeger is a co-author of the study, which was led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Hojin Kim. Jaeger and Kim speculate that a better understanding of non-Newtonian fluids could help in the development ...

The most famous non-Newtonian fluid is probably Oobleck, a mixture of cornstarch and water. In this experiment, you will compare it to a lesser-known non-Newtonian fluid: ketchup. Tomato ketchup is a ...

The viscosity, or thickness, of non-Newtonian fluids is characterized by a sharp shift when the materials are stressed. This means that for certain materials, stress causes thinning. Ketchup can be ...

A hallmark of non-Newtonian fluids is that their viscosity—how thick they are—changes dramatically when the materials are under stress. For some materials, this means thinning with stress.

These types of fluids are called non-Newtonian fluids. Peanut butter may stick more than flow – maybe you could consider this movement more chunky-style.

Peanut butter is actually a great example of a non-Newtonian fluid because it doesn’t flow as easily as air or water but will flow if sufficient force is applied, such as when a knife spreads it ...
