First-passage statistics of confined colloids
Guirec de Tournemire, Nicolas Fares, Yacine Amarouchene +1
The encounter of diffusing entities underlies a wide range of natural phenomena. The dynamics of these first-passage dynamics are strongly influenced by confining geometries. Confi…

Observation of Brownian elastohydrodynamic forces acting on confined soft colloids
Nicolas Fares, Maxime Lavaud, Zaicheng Zhang +3
Confined motions in complex environments are ubiquitous in microbiology. These situations invariably involve the intricate coupling between fluid flow, soft boundaries, surface for…
