New experiments answer one of the oldest and most difficult problems in the physics of fluids, researchers report.

Bubbles are an optimal way to carry heat. A new surface makes them jump to carry even more, researchers report.

A new study of belly flop mechanics reveals why the air to water impact is so painful.

A sphere held almost completely under flowing water induces drag forces several times greater than if it were fully submerged, research finds.

A new discovery explains why bubbles in Champagne go up in a straight line, but bubbles in other carbonated drinks, like beer or soda, don't.

"...sipping through a straw defies all the previously known laws for the resistance or friction of flow through a pipe or tube."
