Lots of people have demonstrated that, surprisingly, if you fill a pool with water and cornstarch you can run across it. Stop, and you sink. How that happens, though, has been something of a mystery ...

If it's been a while since you've been to a fifth-grade science fair, then you probably don't know about oobleck. Oobleck, which was named after the magic substance in a famous Dr. Seuss book, is what ...

New research by NIST and Georgetown scientists deciphers the mechanisms that cause the materials to switch between liquid and solid in response to stress. Oobleck's name is borrowed from a Dr. Seuss ...

It takes guts to attempt running across the surface of a liquid. Even more so if a sneaky physicist is nearby. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, meaning that its viscosity changes depending upon the ...
