Hygroscopic hysteresis drives intermittent salt creeping
Javier RodrÃguez-RodrÃguez, Manikuntala Mukhopadhyay, Lijun Thayyil Raju +3
The paper shows that the intermittent, burst-like motion of salt crystals during evaporation (salt creeping) is caused by hysteresis between deliquescence and efflorescence, which…
Tunable self-emulsification via viscoelastic control of Marangoni-driven interfacial instabilities
Christoph Haessig, Mehdi Habibi, Uddalok Sen
Interfacial instabilities in multicomponent fluidic systems are widespread in nature and in industrial processes, yet controlling their dynamics remains a challenge. Here, we prese…
Capillary adhesion of stick insects
Guillermo J. Amador, Brett Klaassen van Oorschot, Uddalok Sen +2
Scientific progress within the last few decades has revealed the functional morphology of an insect's sticky footpads -- a soft, sponge-like pad that secretes a thin liquid film. H…
