“A layer of brass nails shaken vertically (i.e. perpendicular to the screen) forms an ordered state in a certain range of acceleration. Here you can see orientational (nematic) order and a lot of positional (smectic) order into layers. The layers like to lie perpendicular to the sides of the container, which is square. Head orientation remains random.” Photograph by T Lynn MacDonald.

The bubble disintegrates from the point of contact outward. See it in high-speed video here or see more photos here. (Photo credit: Richard Heeks) #
