Research at the University of Chicago and the University of Santiago in Chile has identified some general rules that apply to wrinkling and folding in materials of widely varying thickness and composition. This 41-second video, taken with the aid of fluorescence microscopy, shows the folding of microscopically thin lipids (fats) under horizontal compression.
