Curious Saturday: The surprising science of flow
Ever wondered why your blood — and ketchup — share something in common?
In his fascinating TED Talk, Sean Farrington explores how the physics of ketchup helps us understand how blood flows through our bodies. By studying “non-Newtonian” fluids (like ketchup that resists then suddenly gushes out), scientists can improve medical devices, predict clots, and even design better treatments for heart conditions.
Sometimes, the key to saving lives can be found in your kitchen cabinet.
