“How a Leak Can Stop Itself”

Our research — and recent invited talk at the American Chemical Society’s 2023 Spring Meeting — on how a leak can stop itself was covered in a Research News article in Physics Magazine. (Spoiler alert: it’s a “damp” harmonic oscillator. Read more in the news article, or in our preprint on the arXiv.)
