Encapsulated microbubbles (EMBs), tiny gas-filled bubbles coated in lipid or protein shells, play a central role in biomedical ultrasound. When exposed to ultrasound waves, EMBs contract, resulting in ...

Yield stress fluids are materials that behave as elastic solids under low applied stresses but flow like viscous liquids once a critical threshold is exceeded. Their microstructure typically comprises ...

The flow behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids in complex geometries is fundamental to processes ranging from biomedical devices to energy production. Unlike Newtonian fluids, whose viscosity remains ...

Supercritical fluids are crucial to understand giant planets such as Jupiter and Neptune, where similar states of matter may reign. A study now published in Nature Communications brings remarkable ...
