Coffee Experts Spill

In all the time you've been shlepping trays of coffee for your coworkers this summer, ever wonder why the drops that somehow make it to your shirt have a surprisingly difficult time leaving it?

Thanks to a team of physicists led by grad student Peter Yunker, the "coffee ring effect" has been demystified. According to these experts, the coffee molecule's spherical shape is the reason it stains so effectively and why your mugs always have that familiar brown ring. By altering the molecule's shape and making it more oval, coffee stains are a thing of the past. Assuming Pete's nearby with his shape-shifting technology every time your mug springs a leak.
