Curious readers exploring soft-matter physics
Worth noticing
The browser simulation is solved 120 times per second and models volume, shear resistance, and energy loss.

Field notes

The project pairs short explainers with a browser simulation that updates 120 times per second. Its material examples include gelatin, gummy bears, agar, carrageenan, and small water blobs, while the simulation models volume conservation, resistance to shear, and damping. The homepage also frames the speed difference between soft gels and steel as a reason jelly can be observed rather than merely measured.
