ω_C denotes the critical cut-off frequency between the synchronous and asynchronous regimes for the data in Fig. 4b. η₀ is the static viscosity derived from equation (1), is the angle by which the wire returns back at high frequency and G is the elastic modulus obtained from equation (4). The error bars are defined as s.e.m.
