Hank describes how non-Newtonian fluids can save lives - and dreams of a bulletproof hoodie.

Animals have all kinds of adaptations to help them get through winter, from hibernation to boots and hats. But trees have to make it through the coldest months of the year alive, too, and they've developed some pretty extreme ways to do it!

Bladeless fans can look like magic. How does all that air come out of that empty ring?! Well, it turns out that bladeless fans are more like a conventional fan than you might think, but that doesn't mean there isn't some really cool...

Sometimes being in a traffic jam can feel like being stuck in a clogged pipe. And it turns out, maybe that feeling isn’t too far off. Today we look at 3 things that are remarkably unlike fluids, yet still behave in liquid-like ways.

Ever heard of Oobleck? How about Non-Newtonian fluids? Well, today Sabrina is going to show us that things can sometimes behave like a solid, and sometimes like a liquid depending on how much force is applied to them. In this episode of...

You're on an airplane when you feel a sudden jolt. Outside your window nothing seems to be happening, yet the plane continues to rattle you and your fellow passengers as it passes through turbulent air in the atmosphere. What exactly is...

NASA spend lots of money and time to create a pen that could use in space, on the other hand, their rival Soviet just used a pencil' You've probably heard this story, but is it true? Here is the truth about the space pen!

Water is one of the most abundant and important substances on Earth, so you think we'd know everything there is to know about it. But it turns out water is way weirder, and it often behaves in ways that leave scientists with more...

You probably won't get stuck in quicksand. But if you do, you can use physics to get yourself out.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how electric charge is quantized and how the smallest unit of charge is 1.6x10^-19 C, or the elementary charge. Robert Millikan discovered the elementary charge using the oil drop experiment. ...

Today we’re talking all about fluid mechanics! We’ll look at different scales that we work with as engineers, mass and energy transfers, the no-slip condition, stress and strain, Newton’s law of viscosity, Reynold’s number, and more!

In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts the properties of solids and liquids. Solids have a more organized structure which can either be amorphous or crystalline. In liquids the intermolecular forces are lower and so the...

Today, we continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. How do fluids act when they're in motion? How does pressure in different places change water flow? And what is one of the motion annoying things about filming outside on a...

Mr. Andersen surveys properties of matter. A brief discussion of Archimede's Principle, Charles Law, Boyle's Law, and viscosity is included.

A visual explanation of viscosity using water, maple syrup, and ketchup.

Explore the fundamentals of viscosity and how it impacts fluid flow. Learn why water moves easily while ketchup flows slowly through this clear and engaging physics explanation.

Dive into the fascinating world of fluid flow with this introduction to the four conditions of ideal fluid flow: nonviscous, incompressible, steady, and irrotational. Learn how these principles simplify the complex motions of fluids and...

Slime is all the rage with kids these days. One common form of slime is known as Oobleck. Oobleck happens to be a non-Newtonian fluid. Join Dr. Boyd in making Oobleck, and learning what it means to be a non-Newtonian fluid. Minute 0:30 –...
