Leaping Shampoo
I came across this video of a fluid phenomenon today. I have no clue what caused it. If you know something about it, please explain to us.

it's fun to watch
Maybe fluids do have more interesting mechanics to study, as some of our colleagues believe.

No doubt! Fluids are much
No doubt! Fluids are much richer in physical phenomena than solids because of higher motility of their particles... unfortunately. :-)
Nature on Kaye effect
Dear Prof. Suo:
You probably have already seen this paper; in case you haven't (and for the benefit of the other readers of this blog), here is an article in April 2006 issue of Nature which claims to explain the effect (and, from which, I guess the video was taken). I ended on the Nature page, via this Wiki page on the effect, which links to some other resources too.

Amazing
I know the shear thickening effects and their application to design better textile armor. But ... guess need to learn more about shear thinning ... Wonderful Nature Mother!
shear-thickening and thinning
Depending on the dispersion concentration, high concentration has a tendency to shear-thickening while low concentration to shear-thinning.
Viscoelastic effect
I am sure that it is a viscoelstic effect. Generally, the springback can be explained.
