Mayonnaise’s texture is perfect for mimicking what a fuel capsule goes through when it’s blasted with lasers to ignite nuclear fusion, Emily Conover reported in “Mayonnaise may shed light on nuclear ...

Oobleck is a fun, classic science experiment that’s easy to do at home, especially on those rainy days when you can’t get outside! It shows off the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid, a substance ...

The secret to understanding how oobleck — a Dr. Seuss-derived nickname for the combination of corn starch and water — works has finally been unraveled, a new Cornell study reports. As a non-Newtonian ...

Dr. Seuss wrote a children's book entitled "Bartholomew and the Oobleck." In this book the king of Didd got angry with the weather and commissioned his royal magicians to invent new weather. The ...

Just by mixing cornstarch and water, you can make Oobleck at home. The mix is very fascinating because it can behave both like a solid and a liquid depending on the pressure you apply on it. Winter ...

Create a fascinating substance named after Dr. Seuss's story "Bartholomew and the Oobleck"! This strange material acts like a liquid when handled gently but becomes solid when force is applied. It's a ...

This experiment puts non-Newtonian fluid to the test by shaking oobleck in a paint shaker, revealing how it reacts under intense vibration and force.

As a dense suspension of piezoelectric nanoparticles shear thickens due to a transition from frictionless (gray) to frictional (red) particle–particle interactions, friction-induced piezoelectricity ...

Directions In a bowl, slowly add the water to the corn starch (you may want to color the water green...for added effect). Stop when the corn starch/water mixture is thick and gooey. Remember, you're ...
