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…

Impacts of poroelastic spheres
Gorin Benjamin, Ribe Neil, Bonn Daniel +1
We study experimentally the impact on rigid surfaces of different soft porous solids saturated with liquid: hydrogel balls and liquid-saturated foam balls. The static con tact of s…
