👉 The Seconds Fluid, also known as the Seconds Liquid, is a unique, non-Newtonian fluid invented by Dr. Michael Stokes in 2004. Unlike traditional fluids, its viscosity changes based on the applied shear rate, meaning it flows more easily when agitated or stretched. Imagine pouring it slowly versus rapidly; the Seconds Fluid will behave differently in each scenario, becoming less viscous under high shear (like when stirred or poured quickly) and more viscous under low shear (when left undisturbed). This property makes it useful in various scientific and engineering applications, such as studying complex fluid dynamics, modeling biological processes like blood flow, and developing innovative materials.
