@Murmurs_Madness I hadn't considered the dystopian aspect of our research...good to keep in mind! Though rest assured that the memory decays with time, no better than human memory :)
In our new paper in PRL, we explore how soft glassy materials "remember" past deformation (i.e., residual stress), and how to measure and predict it. Paper (only 5 pages long): journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… MIT News: news.mit.edu/2025/soft-mate…

@RandlesLab I love it, thanks for sharing
Happy valentine's day for all the scientists, from Darwin "I'm drawn to you with an irresistible selective pressure. In the ecosystem of my heart, you're the keystone species -- you're my ... natural selection." image courtesy of #chatgpt #ValentinesDay #naturalselection
The great solar eclipse is 1 week from now! 🌞 Here's a preview of what you might see through your solar safety glasses. The moon is cookie instead of cheese in this diagram -- close enough, I hope :) #oreo #SolarEclipse2024
Do Παπαδόπουλος (Papadopoulos) chocolate biscuits twist open the same way as Oreos? We observe better split of the filling from the heat here... but overall yes :) #oreology #greece #rheology #cookiesforbreakfast
Stopping by the Horologion of Andronikos Cyrrhestes, aka the ancient water clock of Athens, with some brilliant fluid mechanics and soft matter researchers... great end to our conference this week #icr2023
Sure ChatGPT is fun for conversation, but can LLMs make something real, like a cabinet? Basically yes. And a quadcopter. Here we lay out the framework to make that happen, from design to manufacture #GPT4 #chatgpt Proud to be part of this first piece from my postdoc at MIT CSAIL
From text to reality: MIT researchers find new ways to use LLMs to help in design & manufacturing. These models can convert text prompts to CAD, generate manufacturing instructions, and search for optimal designs: bit.ly/3Ydvq8T
It's a great feeling when we can get experiments, simulation, and visualization together in one paper. My favorite figure (22): observing the immersion of a Couette cylinder, fractal vane, and 6-arm vane into birefringent media. See a difference? #rheology
3DP Fractal vanes, coupled with rheo-PIV and viscoplastic simulations make rheometry of (almost all) complex fluids possible...but watch out for wall slip! #everythingflows⏳❌☠️ Rheo-PIV of yield-stress fluids in a 3D-printed fractal vane-in-cup geometry pubs.aip.org/sor/jor/articl…
One of the best papers I've read in a long time! Read to learn all aspects of fluid mechanics using examples from food. Kudos to the authors for doing making such a thorough and well-illustrated paper. arxiv.org/abs/2201.12128
@colbertlateshow Mr. Stephen Colbert is cordially invited to my PhD defense at MIT on April 19 if he would like to see what else we study here besides #oreos. DM me for details. #OreologyBestOlogy.
Honored (?) to have my PhD research mentioned on Steven Colbert's show last night, alongside mammoth meatballs and botox's effect on emotions. I think I'm ready to graduate now. (See the clip 2 minutes in <3 ) #oreology
@WyattShieldsIV @nprscience @MITMechE always doing my best with what you taught me!
