Universal law for the dispersal of motile microorganisms in porous media
T. Pietrangeli, R. Foffi, R. Stocker +3
Dispersal is essential to the plethora of motile microorganisms living in porous environments, yet how it relates to movement patterns and pore space structure remains largely unkn…
Optimal run-and-tumble in slit-like confinement
T. Pietrangeli, C. Ybert, C. Cottin-Bizonne +1
Run-and-tumble is a basic model of persistent motion and a motility strategy widespread in micro-organisms and individual cells. In many natural settings, movement occurs in the pr…
Exact solutions for viscous Marangoni spreading
T. Bickel, F. Detcheverry
When surface-active molecules are released at a liquid interface, their spreading dynamics is controlled by Marangoni flows. Though such Marangoni spreading was investigated in dif…
Strong and fast rising pressure waves emitted by plasmonic vapor nanobubbles
Julien Lombard, Julien Lam, Francois Detcheverry +2
Plasmonic vapour nanobubbles are currently considered for a wide variety of applications ranging from solar energy harvesting and photoacoustic imaging to nanoparticle-assisted can…
Enhanced heat transfer with core-shell metal dielectric nanoparticles
Ali Alkurdi, Julien Lombard, Francois Detcheverry +1
Heat transfer from irradiated metallic nanoparticles is relevant to a broad array of applications ranging from water desalination to photoacoustics. The efficacy of such processes…
Contact enhancement of locomotion in spreading cell colonies
Joseph d'Alessandro, Alexandre P. Solon, Yoshinori Hayakawa +4
The dispersal of cells from an initially constrained location is a crucial aspect of many physiological phenomena ranging from morphogenesis to tumour spreading. In such processes,…
Influence of the electron-phonon interfacial conductance on the thermal transport at metal/dielectric interfaces
J. Lombard, F. Detcheverry, S. Merabia
Thermal boundary conductance at a metal-dieletric interface is a quantity of prime importance for heat management at the nanoscale. While the boundary conductance is usually ascrib…
Anomalous zeta potential in foam films
Laurent Joly, François Detcheverry, Anne-Laure Biance
Electrokinetic effects offer a method of choice to control flows in micro and nanofluidic systems. While a rather clear picture of these phenomena exists now for the liquid-solid i…
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…
