The Fascinating Behavior of Oobleck: Liquid or Solid?
254This is oobleck—a non-Newtonian liquid made from a simple mixture of water and cornstarch. Oobleck has some amazing properties that make it seem like magic!
When left undisturbed, oobleck behaves like a viscous liquid, flowing freely. However, when force is applied, such as stirring or pressing, it transforms and acts like a solid. The bonds between the cornstarch particles become stronger, making oobleck appear thicker and even able to temporarily hold its shape. But as soon as the force is removed, oobleck returns to its liquid state, flowing once more.
