Wolfgang Pauli called solid-state physics "\;the physics of dir t effects"\;\, and this name might appear well-deserved at first sight since transport properties are more often than not set by extrinsic prope rties\, like impurities. In this talk\, I will present solid-state systems in which electrons behave hydrodynamically\, and for which transport prop erties are instead set by intrinsic properties\, like the viscosity. This new regime of transport opens the way for a &ldquo\;viscous electronics&rd quo\;\, and provides a new angle to study how quantum mechanics can constr ain and/or enrich hydrodynamics.
