...research team, which used high-speed cameras to document the rapid rupturing process, determined that its conclusions on the cascading effects of a popped bubble remain constant over different materials. Even bubbles from viscous liquids, such as oil, followed the same two-step procedure of rupturing...
Engineering Professor Howard A. Stone is one of 65 newly-elected members of the National Academy of Engineering, according to a NAE statement released Friday. Stone was inducted for his research in viscous flow fluid dynamics, and joins 17 other Harvard professors who are currently members of the society. According to fellow NAE member and engineering professor John W. Hutchinson, Stone’s election reflects the quality of the Harvard engineering faculty, and in particular, the significance of his research. “His election is an honor especially for someone as young...

Recovery since then, dramatic and steady, began with something as dull as a rise in oil prices. With that, the laborious process of drawing viscous bitumen out of Alberta's oil sands became ever more viable. Massive shovels churned the earth, digging up the tons of sand needed to produce each barrel of oil. New pipelines were laid. Alberta's already hot economy hurtled forward...
