At the University of Queensland, there is a display containing the longest-running laboratory experiment in the world. It's ...

In a quiet corner of a physics building in Australia, a glass funnel filled with a tar-like substance has been dripping so ...

Running for nearly a century, this quiet experiment proves a “solid” can flow, drop by drop, while generations of scientists ...

An experiment started in 1927 by Thomas Parnell aimed to prove pitch is a super-viscous fluid. Over 96 years, only nine drops ...

The experiment began in 1927 at the University of Queensland in Australia, when physicist Thomas Parnell set out to prove a simple point: materials that appear solid can, in fact, be fluids.

Sometimes science can be painfully slow. Data comes in dribs and drabs, truth trickles, and veracity proves viscous. The ...
