Imagine if you could drink a glass of water just by inserting a solid wire into it and sucking on it as though it were a soda straw. It turns out that if you were tiny enough, that method would work ...

Rotameter flow meters are devices that can measure the flowrate of liquids and gases. Generally, the rotameter is a tube made of plastic, glass or metal combined with a float, which responds linearly ...

One milligram per hour: fluid flow can be measured with great precision using a tiny ‘wobbling’ tube with a diameter of only 40 micrometers. Thanks to a new technique, the sensor, which makes use of ...

A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

Recent advances in flow sensing have resulted in more accurate, durable, and economical meters. Increasingly important is the ability to interface meters with a computer for instantaneous flow readout ...

Professor of Clean Technology Colin Raston, who invented the vortex fluidic device for research at the Flinders Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Flinders University. The Earth’s ...

While Li says this research intended to explore the basic science of liquid-solid interactions, it could lead to applications in inkjet printing, or for making a lab on a chip. "We're really looking ...
