Confirming theoretical predictions, the evaporation rate of a polymer solution (like paint) is experimentally shown to be insensitive to relative humidity up to 80%

Glad to see work from my MSc thesis (finally!) published in @softmatter. We investigated the microstructural evolution a colloid monolayer during fracturing, which leads to pretty pictures like these! Full article available at https://t.co/GTab2z8Uad
@ali_azadbakht 's beautiful work on #ManyBodyEffects in membrane-mediated interactions is now out in @acsnano and featured on the cover! Great collaboration with Thomas Weikl. The video below shows how #colloids (green) order due to the membrane deformations they induce.
💦 Topological water!?!?🪢

Never imagined contributing to the research on water..
Always watched it from afar.. wondering what it was all about.
But water is cool, and linked!

Stoked to finally share this work on fracturing ⚡️

We study crack propagation in glassy systems, like your smartphone screen when you drop it 📱, and use machine learning to better understand the fracturing process.

Read about Louise Head’s work on computational soft matter physics with Tyler Shendruk and Davide Marenduzzo at @EdinburghUni .
After her PhD, she’ll join Dan Beller’s lab @BellerPhysics at JHU for her postdoc to study liquid crystals and active fluids.

Hey everyone! I’m excited to finally share the result of our research on the effect of intrachain loop extrusion in entangled systems, now in https://t.co/KN25bWKgAi.

😍So chuffed that our paper made the cover of @softmatter! Huge thanks to @BradKrajina for the awesome illustration! 👀🪢

Paint doesn’t dry any faster on a dry day than on a wet day. @critreflektor@Prof_WilsonPoon @MaxHuisman_SMP and Paul Digard @EdinburghUni have verified why. https://t.co/L8a7sHK9Nu
Congratulations to Professor Alexander Morozov who has received the 2023 Annual Award from @BritSocRheology for his work on linear and nonlinear instabilities of elastic and viscoelastic fluids.

We show and explain the pervasive nature of diffusion-limited evaporation in polymer solutions through theory and computer simulations, as well as extensions to more complex systems.
Excited to have been awarded a Best Poster award at #ISMC2023!
