👉 The RC fluid, or Rotating Coriolis Fluid, is a unique, non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits both liquid and solid-like behaviors depending on the applied shear rate, making it highly responsive to rotational forces. Discovered by Charles Coriolis in the 19th century, this fluid is characterized by its ability to form stable vortices when spun, a phenomenon known as the Coriolis effect, which causes it to behave like a liquid while also displaying solid-like shear-thinning properties. This dual nature allows the RC fluid to maintain its shape when stationary but flows smoothly when subjected to rotation, making it invaluable in applications such as lab-on-a-chip devices, microfluidic systems, and advanced mixing technologies where precise control over fluid dynamics is crucial.
