Sign up today for the Society of Rheology's Tribo-Rheology short course, to be held in Boston and virtually this October! #friction #rheology #tribology #everythingflows #SoR2026

Congratulations to Lilian Hsiao and Antonio Perazzio for a 2026 Rheology Venture Fund award for a project to support a triborheology theme at the 2026 SoR Annual Meeting. A short course and an invited session will be held to highlight intersections between rheology, friction, and soft interfaces.

Congratulations to Reza Foudazi, recipient of a 2026 Rheology Venture Fund award for developing the Living Rheology Compendium, a searchable resource to deconflict terminology, definitions, symbols and units common in the science of rheology.

Congratulations to the Rheology Venture Fund Winners of the University of Maringá who propose RheoCosmetics, an initiative to introduce rheology to the general public through cosmetic science examples. Hands-on demos, webinars, and educational videos will be developed!

The next Future of Rheology seminar is May 28th, 1pm EDT. Our speakers are Rob Campbell (Modeling structural origins of increased elastic modulus in brush-mediated colloidal depletion gels) and Guillermo Camacho (Self assembly and rheo-microscopy under time dependent magnetic fields)

The Society of Rheology is delighted to announce Roger Bonnecaze of UT Austin is the 2026 recipient of the Bingham Medal for outstanding contributions to the field of rheology. Roger will be celebrated at our annual meeting this fall in Boston! Read more: www.societyofrheology.org/awards/roger...
