Highschoolers in the Klotsa Lab
High-schoolers Aneesha and Adam have completed an exciting project on the collective behavior of hexbug robots, under Steini's careful supervision!
Outreach
Klotsa Lab participated in Science is Awesome Day@UNC organized by the Physics Department. Three dual-language elementary schools in the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area came to UNC to spend a whole day dedicated to science! Graduate student Ian Seim helped out with hands-on activities and labs throughout the day! Daphne gave a presentation on the physics of penguin huddling, and WON best presentation voted by the students.

Little swimmers
A simple two-sphere swimmer. How does it swim? What are the conditions under which it swims or remains stationary? The full article here.
Featuring Roger Bowley, Richard Hill and Kyle Baldwin.
Research also by Michael Swift and DaphneKlosta.
From the amazing initiative of Nottigham's School of Physics and Astronomy, Sixty Symbols.
