Your new giant friend is already lounging on the lawn. 🗿👋

Dutch artist Tom Claassen found inspiration for Rocky Zero in a rock he encountered on the coast of Xiamen, China, in 2005. Its shape and warmth reminded him of an open palm, as if inviting him and his friends to take a seat.

Go say hello to your new campus companion! 💙

Aerial view of large, white, irregularly shaped stones arranged on a grass lawn. Text at the top reads "I'm Rocky Zero." A speech bubble from the stones says, "Hi, DKU!" At the bottom, the text states, "You've seen me. Now meet me.

A view of large, smooth, white stone sculptures resembling pebbles on grassy ground. Two trees with green leaves are visible in the background against a blue sky with white clouds.

A large group of people posing on modern white sculptures set on a grassy area in front of a contemporary building. The sky is clear and sunny.

White sculptural formations resembling smooth stones are scattered across a grassy area in a park setting. In the background, there is lush greenery and trees with hints of autumn foliage.

Chocolate sauce, yogurt, soybeans... Not exactly what you'd expect to find in a lab. 🍫

At DKU, everyday foods offer a way to explore how materials behave. Using specialized instruments, students measure how materials flow and respond to force, revealing the physical properties behind familiar textures.

There's physics behind that creamy texture. 🧪🔬

A small ball falling into foam beads might offer clues to how spacecraft land on dusty surfaces.

At DKU, undergraduate researchers are exploring how particles behave under different conditions. Using a custom-built apparatus and a high-speed camera to capture more than 10,000 images at a time, they're uncovering the physics behind how objects move through granular materials and what that could mean for space exploration.
