Importantly, the nanofluids are engineered to remain suspended indefinitely, unlike other suspensions—for instance, sand in water. The particles can compose up to 80 percent of the liquid’s weight while leaving it no more viscous than motor oil. In 2013, the team received a three-year, US $3.44 million grant from the U.S.
