Gently dripping: A combination of interfacial stress measurements and in situ structural probing under shear flow shows how globular protein adsorption layers (emulsion drops stabilized by lysozyme shown in picture) control the small deformation response of emulsion drops in shear flow. In‐plane interfacial stresses due to the macromolecular adsorption layer stabilize the drops against deformation.
