Strategic placement of an obstacle suppresses droplet break up in the hopper flow of a microfluidic soft crystal

When granular materials, colloidal suspensions, and even animals and crowds exit through a narrow outlet, clogs can form spontaneously when multiple particles or entities attempt to exit simultaneously, thereby obstructing the outlet and ultimately halting the flow. Counterintuitively, the presence...
