It’s widely known that thick, viscous liquidslike honeyflow more slowly than low-viscosity liquids, like water. Researchers were surprised to find this behavior flipped on its head when the liquids flow through chemically coated capillaries. In fact, through these specially coated tubes, liquids a thousand times more viscous flow ten times faster.
The speed at which different fluids flow through pipes is important for a large range of applications: from industrial processes such as oil refineri…
