The Curdle Is the Climax

How short kitchen-science explainers narrate why a colloid stays mixed

A research poster from the School of Settled Matters codes 240 short kitchen-science explainer videos on why a dressing holds or splits, finding the repulsion between droplets personified in 71% of them and the attraction that opposes it named in 9%. Read across tenths of running time, explanation peaks mid-video and the collapse takes over from the seventh tenth, closing 59% of the videos.
