NIMS and Harvard University jointly developed a technique capable of measuring the viscosity of both liquids and gasses using the same device. This device can be used to identify unknown fluids based on their viscosities and may potentially be used to analyze biological fluids (e.g., breath and blood) for health monitoring and medical checkups. The device may also be used to investigate the physical properties and phase transitions of liquid/gas mixtures in basic research.
