At the University of Queensland, there is a display containing the longest-running laboratory experiment in the world. It's ...

Sometimes science can be painfully slow. Data comes in dribs and drabs, truth trickles, and veracity proves viscous. The ...

Running for nearly a century, this quiet experiment proves a “solid” can flow, drop by drop, while generations of scientists ...

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.

An experiment started in 1927 by Thomas Parnell aimed to prove pitch is a super-viscous fluid. Over 96 years, only nine drops ...

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 ...

You guys. YOU GUYS. HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS IT FINALLY HAPPENED. After decades of observation, the climax of one of the longest running experiments in history has finally been captured on video. The pitch!

In a quiet corner of a physics building in Australia, a glass funnel filled with a tar-like substance has been dripping so ...
