Colloidal Suspensions can have Non-Zero Angles of Repose below the Minimal Value for Athermal Frictionless Particles

Jesús Fernández, Loïc Vanel, Antoine Bérut

We investigate the angle of repose of dense suspensions of colloidal silica particles ( to ) in water-filled microfluidic rotating drum experiments, to pr…

Aging in the Flow Dynamics of Dense Suspensions of Contactless Microparticles

Jesús Fernández, Loïc Vanel, Antoine Bérut

This study demonstrates that the free-surface flow dynamics of dense piles of contactless silica microparticles depend on the resting period prior to flow. Microfluidic rotating dr…

Load-Dependent Power-Law Exponent in Creep Rupture of Heterogeneous Materials

Chloé Braux, Antoine Bérut, Loïc Vanel

Creep tests on heterogeneous materials under subcritical loading typically show a power-law decaying strain rate before failure, with the exponent often considered material-depende…

A new scenario for gravity detection in plants: the position sensor hypothesis

Oliver Pouliquen, Yoël Forterre, Antoine Bérut +4

The detection of gravity plays a fundamental role during the growth and evolution of plants. Although progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular, cellular and phy…

Energy flow between two hydrodynamically coupled particles kept at different effective temperatures

Antoine Bérut, Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto

We measure the energy exchanged between two hydrodynamically coupled micron-sized Brownian particles trapped in water by two optical tweezers. The system is driven out of equilibri…

Detailed Jarzynski Equality applied on a Logically Irreversible Procedure

Antoine Bérut, Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto

A single bit memory system is made with a brownian particle held by an optical tweezer in a double-well potential and the work necessary to erase the memory is measured. We show th…
