Fushary exerts unexpected power when acting in groups

ByMarufish

Ali, Fushary inhabiting the southern hemisphere, wrote a movie showing that it has a unique property of changing to different states such as liquid state and solid state when it comes to group, last month the research of Dr. David Fu of Georgia Institute of Technology The team presented at the National Physical Society's meeting. A movie about the mysterious character of this fusari is released by the New York Times.

A black object is pushed out of the funnel.


It is a group of Fushiri that falls from the funnel like a liquid with high liquidity.


James Gorman, a New York Times reporter, said, "Scientists have discovered that Fusari has a unique property of becoming liquid or solid."


The group of Fusary which becomes liquid also becomes solid like the right picture.


When removing the solid fussli from the beaker ......


The group of Fushary remains clumpy.


From the top ...


The chunk changes shape as if it were flat like rubber.


If you float a group of Fushiari on water ......


Again, it keeps the state of the lump and floats even if it presses it down.


This is a state of Fushary which takes a crosslinked structure in the air.


"Fushiari is sacrificed if there are cracks in the ground, and it fills up cracks as if it is concrete," Gormann reporter.


The appearance of Fushiari which exerts mysterious power by becoming a group can be confirmed also in the following movie.

It is a big enemy for one Fussial.


Fussi loaded into water droplets will not escape from surface tension and will be unable to escape and will eventually die.


However, when collecting, Fushiari will have great power.


When I drop a group of Fushiari from the top ...


In this way, it gradually spreads.


This is the same as the liquid spreading the petri dish.


Even if you move the motion of Fushary and the movement of liquid, the way of spreading overlaps perfectly. When collecting it, Fushiari behaves like a liquid.


Also, if you drop a group of Fushary on a liquid, it takes a crosslinked structure and plays a role of searching for an object that someone can grasp over the bridge.


When it is released to the place where it is decorated ......


A bridge is bridged by a group to the part of the dent, and the other Hussary moves on it.


When letting out from the funnel, show a movement like a highly viscous liquid ......


As for the solid lumps, the Fussylari spreads quickly and becomes flattened.


It is as if dough turns into a pepper by its own weight.


If you find a fusari that is both liquid and solid, you may find attachment differently than before.
