Exploration

Physics Around the world

As a physics enthusiast and an adventurer, I love traveling. I can meet so many different people and things while experiencing various exotic cultures in places around the world. I believe that it is those experiences that continuously shape who I am today and quietly alter my way of thinking. I learned physics not only in labs but also deepened my insights into physics in daily life as well. Even a small discovery each time can bring me happiness for a whole trip. Physics is everywhere, from our bathroom shower to the Golden Bridge, and it is waiting for every one of us to explore.

My favorite project is The Last of the Ketchup. It’s the technology of super-slippery, nontoxic coating developed by MIT researchers that allows viscous liquids to slide effortlessly.

LiquiGlide‘s primary goal is to reduce food waste—up to one million tons of condiments are wasted annually because they stick to the sides of bottles. By preventing this, it not only improves consumer convenience but also saves on packaging materials like plastic used in bottle caps.

The project began as a broader research initiative aimed at creating non-wetting coatings to improve applications such as steam turbines and preventing ice buildup on surfaces. It later pivoted toward everyday consumer use with the realization that it could solve the frustrating issue of getting the last bit of ketchup out of bottles.

LiquiGlide may soon be integrated into consumer packaging, making sticky bottles a thing of the past.

The most intersting and questionable project is called The Surrogacy by Ani Liu. This project explores the idea of a pig being genetically engineered to carry human fetuses, raising profound ethical questions about the future of biotechnology. It delves into issues related to the exploitation of both animals and human surrogates, imagining a scenario where livestock might be used to incubate human offspring. How to balance technology and ethical responsibility gradually becomes a big problem.
