Title: “Five little stories about liquids”
Abstract:
There are two famous italian sayings about water: ‘perdersi in un bicchiere d’acqua’ (get lost in a glass of water) and ‘facile come bere un bicchiere d’acqua’ (simple as drinking a glass of water). Both of them suggest the extreme simplicity of water and liquids in general. And both of them are totally wrong! Contrary to solids and gases, fluids are very poorly understood. In this talk, I will present five little stories to prove the above statement and I will discuss with you the reasons behind, and possible recent scenarios to overcome them.
