Abstract: Soft glassy materials experience a significant reduction in viscosity η when subjected to shear flow, known as shear thinning. This phenomenon is characterized by a power-law scaling of η with the shear rate γ°\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath}… read more here.

DOI: 10.15698/mic2022.07.781
Abstract: Bacteria constitute about 15% of global biomass and their natural environments often contain polymers and colloids, which show complex flow behaviors. It is crucial to study their motion in such environments to understand their growth… read more here.
