Suspensions of particles in liquid are found throughout nature and industry, for instance chocolate, toothpaste, slurries and ceramics. Understanding their flow properties is crucial to describing the natural world and characterising engineering processes. We are just beginning to unravel the dramatic influence that particle-particle interactions have on their flow behaviour …
