“The tube is filled with shear-thickening fluid, a liquid that can stop a bullet in its tracks.” Perhaps this sounds like a line a lab technician would deliver in James Cameron’s next futuristic flick ...

For the first time, researchers have been able capture images providing unprecedented details of how particles behave in a liquid suspension when the phenomenon known as shear thickening takes place.
