New Scientist Magazine: Bubbling over

The collaboration between Stefan Hutzler and art-photographer Kym Cox, Poole, resulted in three of her photographs of foams being shortlisted by the Royal Photographic Society for its Science Photographer of the Year competition. The images, which display the colourful structures of ordered liquid foams, a research specialty of the TCD foams group, will form part of an exhibition at the Science Museum London (October 7 to January 5, 2020). One of the photos also features on a double page in the August 24 edition of the New Scientist magazine.
