The researchers were surprised that this behavior was turned on its head when the fluids flow through chemically coated capillaries. Liquids flow through these specially coated pipes ten times faster than a thousand times more viscous. The speed at which various liquids flow through pipes is important for a wide variety of applications: from industrial processes such as oil refin…
