Remember oobleck? It’s the goo that happens when you mix cornstarch with water (and sometimes food coloring), and it’s remarkable because it’s “viscoelastic”, which means it’s runny if you’re gentle with it, and stiff if you’re brusque. Strange stuff.
Now a company called Monsterpod claims to have figgered out how to use viscoelastic goo to stick camera supports to all kinds of surfaces. Is this the first sign of a gooey future? Link.
