High-speed camera captures a fluid behaving like a solid – Yahoo Finance Australia
Researchers have used a high-speed camera to catch a fluid behaving like a solid, which could shape the future of engineering.
High-speed cameras are useful for capturing the unseen world, and that includes the occasional example of oddball physics. Researchers have used a camera recording at 1,000 frames per second to spot a fluid behaving like a solid. The team put a liquid mixture of corn starch and water into a narrow cell, and subjected it to pressurized air that resulted in Discontinuous Shear Thickening that is, the fluid thickened and produced solid-style fractures.
