Slip Layer Dynamics Reveal Why Some Fluids Flow Faster Than Expected

Their findings have been published in PNAS on July 31, 2019.

New microscopy technique provides unprecedented insight into nanoscopic slip layers formed in flowing complex liquids.

Slip Layer Dynamics Reveal Why Some Fluids Flow Faster Than Expected

Whether it is oil gushing through pipelines or blood circulating through arteries, how liquids flow through tubes is perhaps the most fundamental problem in hydrodynamics. The challenge is to maximize transport efficiency by minimizing the... Read More

Heavy Water Shields Dancing Molecules During Electron Microscopy

The work by Distinguished Professor Steve Granick and Professor Oh-Hoon Kwon has been published in ACS Nano.

Since life is mostly based on water, our molecules are moving, vibrating and somersaulting in a liquid environment. But electron microscopy—a technique to study a static version of this nano world—has been almost impossible to use to see mo... Read More
