NASA | Fluid-like Materials

This pathway explores materials that behave like both liquids and solids, such as liquid crystals, polymers, and non-Newtonian fluids. You'll learn how these materials flow, respond to stress, and change behavior in microgravity through experiments on Earth and in space.
