Shape transitions of giant liposomes induced by an anisotropic spontaneous curvature
O. Sandre, Christine Ménager, J. Prost +3
We explore how a magnetic field breaks the symmetry of an initially spherical giant liposome filled with a magnetic colloid. The condition of rotational symmetry along the field ax…
Equation of state of a granular gas homogeneously driven by particle rotations
Eric Falcon, Jean-Claude Bacri, Claude Laroche
We report an experimental study of a dilute "gas" of magnetic particles subjected to a vertical alternating magnetic field in a 3D container. Due to the torque exerted by the field…
Twisting and buckling: a new undulation mechanism for artificial swimmers
Ghani Oukhaled, Andrejs Cebers, Jean-Claude Bacri +2
We present an artificial swimmer consisting in a long cylinder of ferrogel which is polarized transversely and in opposite directions at each extremity. When it is placed on a wate…
