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, ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Pharmaceutical companies have increasingly focused on developing high-concentration protein therapeutics that enable patients to treat themselves at home by self injection. However, the formulation of ...

The viscosity, or stickiness, of a liquid can be measured about 1,000 times faster than previously, providing researchers with a unique window for exploring the inner workings of biological cells. The ...

Viscosity changes with temperature, and it is recommended to use calibration oils certified at the specific temperature for optimal viscometer performance. Image Credit: Paul N. Gardner Company, Inc.

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 ...

Discover Lovis 2001, a one-of-a-kind rolling-ball microviscometer that operates on Hoeppler's falling ball principle. This falling ball viscometer has an adjustable measurement angle, which ensures ...

AMETEK Brookfield, the world standard for viscosity measurement and control, offers its Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements. This popular course was created to help AMETEK Brookfield Viscometer ...

Based on an acoustic viscosity measurement technique, the hermetically sealed VISmart solid-state viscosity sensor is unaffected by vibrations or flow conditions, and needs no calibration. Immersed in ...

Relationship between a measure of structural disorder and viscosity for a polydisperse hard-sphere-like system. The relationship between the structural measure and the viscosity can be collapsed on ...
