There's something familiar about the guys they have working the coffee shop at XJTLU...can't put my finger on what it is though. #chemsky

New paper! Droplets that change shape, move, and divide by incorporating an active magnetic particle cytoskeleton.

Collaboration with Tom Russell at @berkeleylab.lbl.gov. Led by Paul Kim. Happy to have played just a little part in this one! #chemsky

Solid-like oil-water interfaces are fun - we've used them elsewhere to 3D-print structures made entirely of liquids, like this fibril of water in oil.

We do this by printing droplets straight onto an oil-water interface at which a solid (or 'solid-like', depending on how fussy you are) layer of nanoparticles only 10 nm thick is assembled.

New paper! We use printing methods and some simple theory to discuss a liquid material made of water droplets that builds itself.
