Dr. Trevor Douglas of MSU's Center for BioInspired Nanomaterials helps the Peaks & Potentials students understand Non-Newtonian properties of cornstarch and water. Loud, percussive music was played through speakers covered with plastic. The students observed the effects of the sound vibrations, which caused the fluid to "dance" due to stiffening of the polymer when an external force is applied.
