👉 The Joseph fluid, named after physicist James Joseph, is a hypothetical, non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits unique properties. Unlike typical fluids, it changes viscosity in response to applied stress or shear rate. At rest, it behaves like a solid, resisting flow, but when subjected to force, it flows more freely, similar to a liquid. This behavior is due to the alignment of microscopic particles or structures within the fluid under stress, allowing it to transition between solid-like and liquid-like states. This property makes Joseph fluid an intriguing subject in materials science, with potential applications in soft robotics and adaptive materials.
