1926: Van der Pol writes down the "relaxation oscillator" — slow build-up, sudden discharge, on repeat. 1297: Washburn describes "salt creeping" — crystals crawling out of an evaporating salt solution. Turns out they're the same story. 🧵 👇

The next edition of the Han-sur-Lesse summerschool on Soft Matter and Biological Physics is now finalised, with lectures on 6 exciting topics! Join us this summer in the Belgian Ardennes for 5 days of science and socialising. Seats are limited, so hurry! #softmatter #biophysics hslwinterschool.com

Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org doi.org/10.1073/pnas...! Ice cubes often appear cloudy because, as water freezes, air bubbles get trapped and scatter light. But how does freezing rate affect the shape of the bubbles?

Here’s a Christmas present for y’all: a new physics post! I’ve done these things on “the other side”—let’s see how many people are interested on 🦋! I’ll be talking about a famous principle in classical mechanics: that of “least action.” And I’ll tell you why it’s a misnomer! Buckle up! 1/26

As someone on the reader side, I might even add how badly such a review was needed, and how enlightening it has been to read this.
