Mixing properties of bi-disperse ellipsoid assemblies: Mean-field behaviour in a granular matter experiment
F. M. Schaller, H. Punzmann, G. E. Schröder-Turk +1
The structure and spatial statistical properties of amorphous ellipsoid assemblies have profound scientific and industrial significance in many systems, from cell assays to granula…
Rolling spinners on the water surface
Jean-Baptiste Gorce, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Hua Xia +3
Angular momentum of spinning bodies leads to their remarkable interactions with fields, waves, fluids, and solids. Orbiting celestial bodies, balls in sports, liquid droplets above…
Turbulence-assisted formation of bacterial cellulose
Sung-Ha Hong, Jia Yang, Mahdi Davoodianidalik +3
Bacterial cellulose is an important class of biomaterials which can be grown in well-controlled laboratory and industrial conditions. The cellulose structure is affected by several…
Field-theory spin and momentum in water waves
K. Y. Bliokh, H. Punzmann, H. Xia +2
Spin is a fundamental yet nontrivial intrinsic angular-momentum property of quantum particles or fields, which appears within relativistic field theory. The spin density in wave fi…
Wave-controlled bacterial attachment and formation of biofilms
Sung-Ha Hong, Jean-Baptiste Gorce, Horst Punzmann +3
The formation of bacterial biofilms on solid surfaces within a fluid starts when bacteria attach to the substrate. Understanding environmental factors affecting the attachment and…
Tractor beam on the water surface
Horst Punzmann, Nicolas Francois, Hua Xia +2
Can one send a wave to bring an object from a distance? The general idea is inspired by the recent success in moving micro particles using light and the development of a tractor be…
