Suzanne (is awesome)

Creative writing major/ professional & technical writing minor, though I wanna be a geology or physics major. Cinematography nerd, book collector, space dweeb, science junkie, caffeine fiend, mineral collector, dalek enthusiast, sci-fi fanatic, music buff, comic n00b, anime fan, and knowledge devotee. My spirit animals are Daria, Hunter S. Thompson, Bryan Cranston, Arya Stark, Sterling Archer, and Michael from RoosterTeeth. I'm gonna go to the Moon someday. HAN SHOT FIRST. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH WAS A BRILLIANT KHAN. DANIEL CRAIG = BEST BOND EVER.

fuckyeahfluiddynamics: Differences in surface tension between two layers of fluid can cause fascinating finger-like instabilities.  Here glycerol is spread in a thin film on a silicon wafer.  Then a wire coated in oleic acid, which has a lower surface tension than glycerol, was touched to the wafer.  As the oleic acid spreads across the film surface, Marangoni and capillary stresses cause variations in the film thickness, which results in the dendritic patterns seen here. (Photo credit: B.
