Resources Microrheology What is Microrheology? Complex fluids like mayonaise, complex materials like plastics, and biomaterials like cells are all somewhat squishy. To some degree, these materials can act both like fluids and like solids, depending on how you put forces on them. Conventional rheology is a way to measure the squishiness of materials: how viscous…
