This chanmail-like material can morph and adapt like fluids or solids.

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

PAMs demonstrated a unique ability to transition between fluid-like and solid-like states depending on the stresses applied. Zhou illustrates this adaptability, noting that under shear stress, PAMs ...

"Imagine applying a shear stress to water," Zhou says. "There would be zero resistance ... "We all have a clear distinction ...

The shear stress is not related to the magnitude of the shear angle ... The velocity gradients are set up by the no-slip condition at the wall. When a fluid is in contact with a solid surface, there ...

Non-Newtonian fluids may exhibit shear thinning, where the viscosity decreases with stress; common examples include ketchups and sauces that can appear almost solid-like at rest. The reverse is ...
