Is pitch a liquid or a solid? It turns out that while it appears to be a solid at room temperature, it actually flows like a liquid ... a very, very viscous liquid. Why is this interesting? One of the ...

It took seven decades, but the pitch has finally been caught in the act. Since 1944, physicists at Trinity College in Dublin have been trying to measure the viscosity of pitch tar, a polymer seemingly ...

“Oh yes, watching paint dry would be far, far more interesting,” says Andrew White, a quantum physicist at Australia’s University of Queensland and custodian of the world’s longest continually run — ...

'Pitch drop experiment' is a drop experiment of a very viscous fluid called 'pitch'. It's extremely sticky (it's better to say it's sticky rather than sticky). The liquid that doesn't seem to move ...

It may have taken 69 years but one of the longest-running experiments in the world has captured the fall of a drop of tar pitch on camera for the first time ever. The experiment began in 1944 at ...

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have some long awaited test results: After 69 years, they have captured on video a drop of pitch, also known as bitumen or asphalt. With a camera trained on a ...

The drip has dropped! (Or has the drop dripped?) Either way, the curse of the 69-year-old pitch-drop experiment has finally been broken: physicists at Trinity College in Dublin have finally caught 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!

A science experiment 69 years in the making has finally come to a conclusion at Dublin’s Trinity College. Though this may seem like small potatoes compared to the 421-year-old university, scientists ...

SCIENTISTS are no more immune from the hustle of modern life than anybody else. But some specialisations—astronomy, geology, evolutionary biology, to name just three—offer a broader perspective, ...
