Discover how your stress response is actually working for you—and how imagination can help you adapt, even when the world ...

The researchers also discovered that the effects of stress are different for men and women. In general, stress has a greater impact on men’s decision making. Under stress women are also better at ...

Sometimes you see an FDM filament pop up that makes you do a triple-take because it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. This ...

Researchers have discovered an unusual plume of magma beneath Oman that may have changed the course of the Indian tectonic ...

One of the most critical, yet often underestimated variables, is shear stress. While controlled shear stress can be useful in simulating physiological conditions, unintended shear forces – especially ...

The authors wrote, "For generations, based on Glen's original experiments and many subsequent experiments mostly on cold ice (-2 degrees C and colder), the value of the stress exponent n in models ...

But data from the large-scale, shear-deformation experiments in Iverson’s lab raised questions about the assigned value for n. Temperate ice is linear-viscous ( n = 1.0) “over common ranges of liquid ...

This polarized light image shows ice grains deformed in experiments with the ring-shear device in Neal Iverson's Iowa State laboratory. The experiments show that grains, on average, grow about 3 ...

Some non-Newtonian fluids will thicken—increase viscosity—when a shear stress is applied, as in stirring. This is called shear-thickening. Others get less viscous, which is called shear-thinning. But ...

Study hints at the potentially crucial role of shear stress in ... School and Worcester Polytechnic Institute have recently set out to better understand these mechanisms by conducting experiments ...

The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon.
