Suspension memory device

Caption

Device used to stir and rock samples of a suspension of small particles in viscous liquid. New research shows that the suspension can store memory of the direction of stirring and amplitude of rocking simultaneously, but the memories interact and compete in ways similar to long- and short-term memories.
