Contact-mediated asymmetric delay and rate memory in snapping beam pairs
Gavin Linton, Shima Mahmoudirad, Nidhi Pashine +1
Slender structures in dense environments interact through contact, which alters how and when they become unstable. Here we show that contact makes snap-through history dependent, s…

Creases as elastocapillary gates for autonomous droplet control
Zixuan Wu, Gavin Linton, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Droplets are the core functional units in microfluidic technologies that aim to integrate computation and reaction on a single platform. Achieving directed transport and control of…
