Active Reinforcement of Jammed Emulsions by Living Microswimmers
Marie Corpart, Hugo Le Roux, Daniel Bonn +1
We show that living microswimmers mechanically reinforce dense emulsions. Castor-oil-in-water emulsions laden with the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are compared in three sta…

Early Stages of Drop Coalescence
Antoine Deblais, Kaili Xie, Peter Lewin-Jones +5
Despite the large body of research on coalescence, firm agreement between experiment, theory, and computation has not been established for the very first moments following the init…

Drop-drop coalescence: a simple crossover function between inertial and viscous dynamics
Kaili Xie, Marie Corpart, Antoine Deblais +1
The coalescence of liquid drops is a fundamental process that remains incompletely understood, particularly in the intermediate regimes where capillary, viscous, and inertial force…
