For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out ...

In a study published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers used the Navier-Stokes equations—the bedrock math of fluid flows—and a few experiments to investigate the behavior of thin liquid films that ...

Researchers at Penn, led by Physics and Astronomy professor Arnold Mathijssen, have discovered ways to achieve quality coffee extraction using fewer beans. Published in “Physics of Fluids,” the ...

Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" seems to follow a mathematical theory describing fluids in nature. He couldn't have understood the equations, which came about decades after his death. Researchers found ...

When Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh produced "The Starry Night" in 1889, he is believed to have put paint to canvas to illustrate the chaotic conditions inside his own mind. Yet according to a new ...

A group of fluid mechanics and physics researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created what they believe is the best pour-over coffee technique. The key is using a goose-neck kettle and a ...
