You might have heard of diffusiophoresis in which charged colloids move either up or down an ion concentration gradient. But what happens if there are two gradients, crossed at right angles with each other? For the past couple of years, @ipwilliams did experiments to find out 1/2

Farewell to Dr Yuxiu (Phil) Chen as he heads off to Newcastle! We enjoyed a nice walk along the River Wey with a stop at a riverside pub. Phil pushed forward our research in #biocoatings on the @LeverhulmeTrust project. New publication on wastewater treatment to appear soon!🤞

A merry Christmas from the @PhysicsatSurrey Soft Matter Physics Group! The past year was challenging for everyone, but the Group worked together wonderfully to achieve much. Hoping that 2022 is even better.

Did you realize that when you are at the sea side wearing a mask you cannot smell the sea? This means that masks are at least partially effective in preventing exposure to liquid droplets in the air, as this nice work from Paddy Royall's lab indicates: arxiv.org/abs/2008.04995

My family insist that academia is a cult that starts by separating you from family. They question why I don’t get paid when I publish, why I pay to go to a conference & present my work, & why I make so little with advanced degrees when I could make more doing something else.

Branched flow of light observed for the first time by Patsyk et al. (doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2…), in a simple soap film! It looks like it would even be reasonable to recreate the experiments (and cool light show) at home...
