Large-scale chaos and fluctuations in active nematics

Sandrine Ngo, Anton Peshkov, Igor S. Aranson +3

We show that "dry" active nematics, e.g. collections of shaken elongated granular particles, exhibit large-scale spatiotemporal chaos made of interacting dense, ordered, band-like…

Strong dynamical effects during stick-slip adhesive peeling

Marie-Julie Dalbe, Stéphane Santucci, Pierre-Philippe Cortet +1

We consider the classical problem of the stick-slip dynamics observed when peeling a roller adhesive tape at a constant velocity. From fast imaging recordings, we extract the depen…

Optimizing water permeability through the hourglass shape of aquaporins

Simon Gravelle, Laurent Joly, François Detcheverry +3

The ubiquitous aquaporin channels are able to conduct water across cell membranes, combining the seemingly antagonist functions of a very high selectivity with a remarkable permeab…

Shear-induced structures versus flow instabilities

Marc-Antoine Fardin, Christophe Perge, Nicolas Taberlet +1

The Taylor-Couette flow of a dilute micellar system known to generate shear-induced structures is investigated through simultaneous rheometry and ultrasonic imaging. We show that f…

Dynamics of a Liquid Crystal close to the Fréedericksz transition

Aude Caussarieu, Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto

We report experimental and numerical evidences that the dynamics of the director of a liquid crystal driven by an electric field close to the critical point of the Fréedericksz Tra…

Insights on the local dynamics induced by thermal cycling in granular matter

Baptiste Percier, Thibaut Divoux, Nicolas Taberlet

In this letter, we report results on the effect of temperature variations on a granular assembly through Molecular Dynamic simulations of a 2D granular column. Periodic dilation of…
