who was elected as the University of Cambridgersquos 19th Lucasian Professor of Mathematics last year In his lecture Cates will discuss the jamming behaviour of colloids and dense suspensions Both are types of soft matter with an internal structure something like tiny ping-pong balls dispersed in a liquid which form a cluster when their propulsion is switched on
