This is my latest drawing, inspired by more diagrams and hours spent peering through a microscope than I'd care to count.
One of the areas of science that has always fascinated me is complex fluids. These are liquids which have structures inside them, but the structures and order are so soft and fragile that the tiniest bit of force (actually stress) is enough to break them apart. Complex fluids will behave like liquids when they're flowing, but if they rest for a while, the fragile structures reform.
