Just when you think you've got a handle on how the Universe works, physics goes and surprises you again. Researchers have discovered that simple liquids can have breaking points, beyond which they suddenly fracture like solids. The finding is a significant one for fluid mechanics. If liquids can snap, as well as stretch and flow, it has implications in everything from 3D printing technology to the biological systems inside our bodies . The surprise discovery was made by researchers from Drexel
