Mould's YouTube video, in which he demonstrated the phenomenon of rising self-siphoning beads and proposed an explanation,[4] brought the problem to the attention of academics John Biggins and Mark Warner of Cambridge University,[5] who published their findings about what has now been called "chain fountain" in Proceedings of the Royal Society A.[6][7] Warner has referred to it as the 'Mould effect'[8][9]

Between 2008 and 2010, Mould performed three geeky sketch shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Gemma Arrowsmith.[10] Since 2011, Steve has performed live science comedy as part of the comedic trio Festival of the Spoken Nerd, with mathematician Matt Parker and physicist songstress Helen Arney. Festival of the Spoken Nerd has performed at theatres, science and arts festivals.[11][12]

Personal life[]

Originally from Gateshead, United Kingdom, he is now based in London. He has three children.[13] Steve Mould's wife is Lianne.[14]
