New preprint posted- the paradoxical behavior of rough colloids at fluid interfaces. we synthesized spheres and ellipsoids with controlled topography to show how roughness weakens capillary interactions in ellipsoids, but strengthens them for spheres

@MdAnisu22367536 and I were happy to contribute a review to this, thanks for the invite @phdramoncp
Our research topic “Reviews in Soft Matter Physics” is finally out!

So cool, I'd love to know more about how they made this. But basketball is not the killer app for this tech. This will save pickleball from folks annoyed by the noise.
So Wilson made a $2500 AIRLESS basketball from 3D printing techniques. It won’t be replacing a leather ball anytime soon, but honestly a pretty damn cool idea
