Fluids & Soft Matter UvA
This is the channel for all the videos from the course Fluids & Soft Matter, Bachelor Physics and Astronomy, taught by Prof. Daniel Bonn, Prof. Peter Bolhuis and Prof. Sander Woutersen.
The idea is for students working in a small group to upload a short video on a topic of their choice, which we will subsequently view, discuss and take inspiration from.
