A dripping faucet is a seemingly ordinary, everyday thing. If you look closely, you will find a stream of water flowing from the faucet and breaking into droplets. But have
you ever asked yourself what the shape of a water droplet is? If you squeeze a drop of water out of a water bottle on the International Space Station, you will find that
the droplet forms a perfect sphere. This is because of the surface tension. In today's talk, I will show you that it is possible to create non-spherical water droplets by
using tiny particles. The idea behind it is the so-called interfacial jamming. By using this concept, we can make all kinds of liquid structures and liquid-based devices.
After the lecture, we will invite all participants to our campus tour. During the campus tour, you will see how we make and study these "strange" droplets.
