# gst: apropos of odd droplets; fluids with broken symmetries could self-control their mechanics.

<< Flows with deformable interfaces are commonly controlled by applying an external field or modifying the boundaries that interact with the fluid, (..) Here, (AA) demonstrate that fluids with broken symmetries can self-control their mechanics. (They) demonstrate that odd viscosity dramatically disrupts conventional symmetric spreading by inducing asymmetric deformations and chiral flow patterns. (Their) analysis reveals a variety of dynamic regimes, including leftward and rightward bouncing, as well as rolling, depending on the relative strength of the odd viscosity. >>️
