Rotational microrheology of Maxwell fluids using micron-sized wires

Rémy Colin, Loudjy Chevry, Jean-François Berret +1

We demonstrate a simple method for rotational microrheology in complex fluids, using micrometric wires. The three-dimensional rotational Brownian motion of the wires suspended in M…

Thirty Femtograms Detection of Iron in Mammalian Cells

A. Galimard, M. Safi, N. Ould-Moussa +3

Inorganic nanomaterials and particles with enhanced optical, mechanical or magnetic attributes are currently being developed for a wide range of applications. Safety issues have be…

Magnetic wire-based sensors for the micro-rheology of complex fluids

L. Chevry, N. K. Sampathkumar, A. Cebers +1

We propose a simple micro-rheology technique to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of complex fluids. The method is based on the use of magnetic wires of a few microns in length…

Sub-Piconewton Force Detection using Micron-Size Wire Deflections

L. Chevry, J. -F. Berret

The mechanical properties of nanostructured wires obtained by co-assembly of iron oxide particles are studied. The intrinsic magnetic properties of the wires are used to induce and…

Path-memory induced quantization of classical orbits

Emmanuel Fort, Antonin Eddi, Arezki Boudaoud +2

A droplet bouncing on a liquid bath can self-propel due to its interaction with the waves it generates. The resulting "walker" is a dynamical association where, at a macroscopic sc…

Impact dynamics of granular jets with non-circular cross-sections

Xiang Cheng, Leonardo Gordillo, Wendy W. Zhang +2

Using high-speed photography, we investigate two distinct regimes of the impact dynamics of granular jets with non-circular cross-sections. In the steady-state regime, we observe t…
