Sustainable and convenient: bi-modal public transit systems outperforming the private car
Puneet Sharma, Knut M. Heidemann, Helge Heuer +2
Mobility is an indispensable part of modern human societies, but the dominance of motorized individual traffic (MIV, i.e., the private car) leads to a prohibitive waste of energy a…
A control theory approach to optimal pandemic mitigation
Prakhar Godara, Stephan Herminghaus, Knut M. Heidemann
In the framework of homogeneous susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) models, we use a control theory approach to identify optimal pandemic mitigation strategies. We derive rather g…
Symmetric wetting heterogeneity suppresses fluid displacement hysteresis in granular piles
Robabeh Moosavi, Matthias Schröter, Stephan Herminghaus
We investigate experimentally the impact of heterogeneity on the capillary pressure hysteresis in fluid invasion of model porous media. We focus on `symmetric' heterogeneity, where…
Intelligence of agents produces a structural phase transition in collective behaviour
Hannes Hornischer, Stephan Herminghaus, Marco G. Mazza
Living organisms process information to interact and adapt to their changing environment with the goal of finding food, mates or averting hazards. The structure of their niche has…
Radar for tracer particles
Felix Ott, Stephan Herminghaus, Kai Huang
We introduce a radar system capable of tracking a mm spherical target continuously in three dimensions. The GHz (X-band) radar system has a transmission power of W and op…
Liquid morphologies and capillary forces between three spherical beads
Ciro Semprebon, Mario Scheel, Stephan Herminghaus +2
Equilibrium shapes of coalesced pendular bridges in a static assembly of spherical beads are computed by numerical minimization of the interfacial energy. Our present study focuses…
