Bursting an Oobleck Bubble

When soap bubbles burst, the hole grows as an expanding circle. But not every fluid bursts this same way. Here, researchers let air rise through oobleck–a fluid made from cornstarch suspended in water–to form a bubble. In time, as with all bubbles, the oobleck bubble bursts. But–in keeping with oobleck’s solid-like properties–the film tears open and fractures. As it sinks back into the liquid, it wrinkles before it slowly relaxes back into fluid form.

Working on some #oobleck batter for Sweet & Sour #chicken while watching #StarTrek on #PlutoTV. Need more Far Beyond the Stars type episodes.

This, & the new Spider-Man cartoon, I mean really!

Oobleck by José Solé - Future Fonts

Inspired by the late 70’s and early 80’s covers of Frank Herbert’s Dune series, Oobleck is a psychedelic slab typeface, designed around circles as a key element. While Giorgio Giaiotto’s self-titled Giorgio font presented as an exciting starting point, Oobleck is a modern interpretation that has kept the funky style and interconnected playfulness, but made with attention to the curves, careful weight compensation, and an expansion of the character set beyond just uppercase characters. In future releases, the circle will balloon and be pushed to its limits to make additional weights, expanding the typographic reach and application of the design–so 👀 this space!

Plasmodium of Cribraria aurantiaca found under the bark of a decaying pine tree, its favorite. I've gone back to this location multiple times but have never found fruiting bodies. Even tried rearing it at home, without success. The sporangia of the genus have unique peridial nets that trap the spores inside ... and thus resemble tomatillo fruit when they are left to dry on the plant. #slimemould #slimemold #myxomycetes #myxogastria #cribraria #oobleck
