Gelling non-Newtonian drops impacting on liquids
The project aims to understand how “complex” liquid droplets transform into small solid beads or capsules when they fall into another liquid, in order to better control their final shape.

The project develops small soft robots capable of changing shape remotely using magnets, by employing lightweight and porous materials specifically designed to respond to magnetic fields.

The project seeks to observe how molecules move within extremely small, almost invisible spaces, in order to better understand the behavior of liquids at the nanometer scale.
