Running for nearly a century, this quiet experiment proves a “solid” can flow, drop by drop, while generations of scientists ...
Sometimes science can be painfully slow. Data comes in dribs and drabs, truth trickles, and veracity proves viscous. The ...
An experiment started in 1927 by Thomas Parnell aimed to prove pitch is a super-viscous fluid. Over 96 years, only nine drops ...

The experiment began in 1927 at the University of Queensland in Australia, when physicist Thomas Parnell set out to prove a simple point: materials that appear solid can, in fact, be fluids.
The science world might have tapped into something that is literally slower than molasses. Researchers at Ireland's Trinity College set up a camera to capture a pitch drop that was 69 years in the ...
