Pets of Eberly, featuring Wally 🐕
Wally is Gail McCormick's Chihuahua mix who is always chasing other animals, and nibbling toys. Gail is a science writer for the college's Office of Communications and loves learning about the different research happening across Eberly.
In a new study, him and his research team, which includes Surendra Padamata, a graduate student in physics, showed that two different types of material memory can coexist in a simple mixture of small particles suspended in a viscous liquid.
