At small scales gravity shouldn't matter - these protein drops, however, start off spherical but change shape as they evaporate depending on the direction of (weak) gravity. Find out more at: go.aps.org/3IEpwXF

Band-aids are flat, but knees are curved; this geometric incompatibility means blisters often form, but when depends on how bendable the band-aid is, as shown in this new study pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Want to make a map that folds into a globe? If you have paper with the right thickness profile then by cutting many petals of a given shape, you can get arbitrarily close. Find out more at: doi.org/10.1039/D0SM00714E (with @Mingchao_Liu )

You poke fruit to tell if it's ripe, but does the stiffness you feel come from the flesh, the skin or a mix? Turns out it depends on how big your finger is. Read more at: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
