In the petroleum industry, a ubiquitous problem is pipeline plugging by waxy oils, especially undersea where temperatures are low enough to crystallize the waxes. By measuring viscosity and stress as ...

Easily reconfigurable microfluidic platform can grow spheroids from various cell lines needed for pharmaceutical experiments.

American Institute of Physics advances, promotes and serves the physical sciences for the benefit of humanity. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, AIP is a federation that advances the success of our Member ...

Metamaterials are engineered to exhibit unusual properties, such as band gaps that block mechanical vibrations of certain frequencies. While these properties can be tuned, adjusting and maintaining a ...

Precision horticulture, using technology to optimize crop production, has grown in recent years. To help farmers improve crop resilience and reduce losses caused by environmental stress, researchers ...

Human ears detect pressure fluctuations, which are translated into electric signals and then interpreted as sound. Most animals, however, respond to the motion of the surrounding medium in a sound ...
