Congratulations to Zory and Jan on their latest publication, "Orientational ordering benefits nanorod sonication", which went online today in Physical Review Materials! A work very long in the making, this is a systematic study of the interplay between sonication and ordering in suspensions of rods (in particular, the cellulose nanocrystals we use) and how phase transitions ultimately affect the behavior of the suspensions (even after returning to the "original" state).

The article is free to read (and download) online.
