Rheology studies how matter flows, usually in its liquid state but also as “soft solids”. The technique has been applied in the last century in fields as diverse as materials science, engineering, geophysics, physiology, human biology, and pharmaceutics. In more recent decades, it has been a key part of the rise of green technology.
