An electrorheological fluid is a substance whose form changes in the presence of electric fields. Depending on the strength of the field to which it is subjected, an electrorheological fluid can run freely like water, ooze like honey or solidity like gelatin. Indeed, the substance can switch from one state to another within a few milliseconds. 1, record 1, English, - electrorheological%20fluid

Les applications sont encore peu nombreuses, mais on espère mettre bientôt au point des embrayages, des actionneurs hydrauliques utilisant des fluides électrorhéologiques, et même des amortisseurs d'automobile s'adaptant à l'état de la route en quelques millisecondes. 3, record 1, French, - fluides%20%C3%A9lectrorh%C3%A9ologiques
