Rearrangement of two dimensional aggregates of droplets under compression
We study signatures of the energy landscape’s evolution through the crystal-to-glass transition by compressing two dimensional (2D) finite aggregates of oil droplets. Droplets of two distinct sizes are used to compose small aggregates in an (...)

Lift at the nanometric scale!
Researchers from the CNRS, the University of Bordeaux and ESPCI Paris measured and modeled for the first time the emergent lift force that acts on a micrometric particle moving in a viscous fluid near a soft wall. This force could have great (...)

DNA nanotechnology to detect cancer biomarkers
How to detect diseases at the earliest stages of development? This is the problematic raised by most scientists and physicians, focusing on new biomarkers, such a microRNAs. Indeed, a growing number of publications link microRNA levels inside (...)

Uncovering polymer’s unique spindle structure
A new study from Daeseok Kim and Teresa Lopez-Leon of Gulliver lab, in collaboration with Helen Ansell, Randall Kamien, and Eleni Katifori of the University of Pennsylvania, describes how polymer spheres can transform into twisted spindles (...)

Collective Damage Growth Controls Fault Orientation in Quasibrittle Compressive Failure
Véronique Dansereau, Vincent Démery, Estelle Berthier, Jérôme Weiss, and Laurent Ponson The Mohr-Coulomb criterion describes well the level of compression that an heterogeneous material such as rock or ice can bear before failing. It can be (...)
