Resumen de Miracle gloop shatters like glass
Oobleck has a split personality because the corn starch exists as a solid suspended in liquid water. In 2012, Heinrich Jaeger and colleagues at the University of Chicago discovered why oobleck behaves this way--the water flees the point of impact faster than the starch, leaving the solid particles behind and these jam up, forming a matrix of surprising strength. While based at Princeton University, Matthieu Roche and colleagues probed another property of oobleck--its tendency to break up.
