Behold the mayo: Experiments reveal 'instability threshold' of elastic-plastic material

Lehigh University’s Arindam Banerjee and his team have succeeded in characterizing the interface between an elastic-plastic material and a light material under acceleration. The results are described in a paper published today in Physical Review E called “Rayleigh-Taylor-instability experiments with elastic-plastic materials.”
