Direct Measurement of Unsteady Microscale Stokes Flow Using Optically Driven Microspheres
Nicolas Bruot, Pietro Cicuta, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadelha +4
A growing body of work on the dynamics of eukaryotic flagella has noted that their oscillation frequencies are sufficiently high that the viscous penetration depth of unsteady Stok…
Externally driven local colloidal ordering induced by a point-like heat source
Nicolas Bruot, Hajime Tanaka
We study here how phase transitions are induced in colloidal suspensions by a point-like heat source, an optically trapped metal oxide particle absorbing light. We find that thermo…
Curvature-dependence of the liquid-vapor surface tension beyond the Tolman approximation
Nicolas Bruot, Frédéric Caupin
Surface tension is a macroscopic manifestation of the cohesion of matter, and its value is readily measured for a flat liquid-vapor interface. For interfaces with a smal…
Realizing the physics of motile cilia synchronization with driven colloids
Nicolas Bruot, Pietro Cicuta
Cilia and flagella in biological systems often show large scale cooperative behaviors such as the synchronization of their beats in "metachronal waves". These are beautiful example…
