Wrinkles on Collapsing Bubbles
As a bubble sitting on a pool collapses, wrinkles form around its edges. Visually, the result is quite similar to the wrinkles one gets on an elastic sheet. Unlike the Keep reading
Viscoplastic Drop Impact
There are many materials that don’t behave exactly as a fluid or a solid, instead displaying characteristics of both. In this video, we see drops of hair gel falling into Keep reading
Rocket Yeast
Usually, microbial colonies are grown on a solid substrate, but what happens when they grow on a liquid surface? That’s the question explored in this Gallery of Fluid Motion video Keep reading
