This evaporating droplet contains liquid crystal molecules, similar to those in your phone screen. When the molecules point in the same direction, they appear bright, allowing us to study the liquid-liquid phase separation into nematic phases. Video: Alex Klotz and Ahmad Zaghari #apsdsoft #physics

For thousands of years, people have used ribbon-like material such as reed strips to make woven baskets. New research demonstrates this method is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also offers higher resilience than continuous sheets! Read at doi.org/10.1103/9srl... #apsdsoft #physics.

Can't wait to see you all at the APS Global Physics Summit in Anaheim!! @apsphysics.bsky.social
