@professor_meh@Gilchrist_Lab You don't even need surface tension. A layer of paint has finite thickness. To fit into the nooks and crannies, the layer must get ever thinner. So you can paint the room with a finite amount of paint, but you need an infinite number of ever tinier brushes to apply it.
@pauldauenhauer What if we did it in 3 yrs? Keep the tuition the same. Reduce the extra expenses by 1/4. Get the students out earning on their education 1 yr. sooner. Pay faculty a 12 mo. salary for the effort. 1 summer is a co-op. The others are "senior year." 25% higher training throughput.
A new @softmatter study by Philippe Bourrianne, Paul Lilin, Gareth McKinley, Irmgard Bischofberger, and collaborators reveals novel crack morphologies that emerge during the drying of drops of nanoparticle suspensions. https://t.co/PnlSobEzRn
Our new @PhysRevLett paper uses confocal rheometry to predict shear thickening using jamming distance. No microscope needed - try it for yourself. Congrats @pradeep_shravan@SafaJamali and coauthors! https://t.co/wAgktV7Txw
@KWhiteheadLab@GallowayLabMIT I also had that conversation, but we all agreed I was probably careless and should fix it myself. I could be careless. But, he definitely picked it out of the back pocket of my Navy blue Jansport backpack when I was heading from the library to Latin class after lunch.
@KWhiteheadLab One of mine was engraved too. Someone stole it freshman year of high school. I used money earned at my after school job to replace it. Weeks later a "friend" who was just confirmed in his church "found" the lost one (engraving scratched out). Now I had two and was $125 poorer.
Emily Krucker-Velasquez and I just published our first paper together on the structure of conc. electrolytes. Emily found that the ratio of steric stabilization length to Debye layer thickness controls underscreening. Also, like-charge clusters abound!

Very glad to see this paper on wormlike micelles and MAPS rheology with @garethmckinley and Kyle Lennon @doecsgf appear in @RheologicaActa. Kyle was able to use high data density rheology to learn something new about nonlinearities in a micellar solution.

They report a unique biosensing strategy based on a mixture of engineered S. oneidensis & freeze-dried E. coli to simultaneously degrade and electrochemically detect toxic pesticides: https://t.co/MgSrAx73MA
