Active particle in a very thin interfacial droplet
Airi N. Kato, Kaili Xie, Benjamin Gorin +2
A single light-driven Janus particle confined in a very thin oil droplet at an air--water interface displays intriguing dynamics. While laser activation induces rapid horizontal mo…
Controlled Locomotion of a Minimal Soft Structure by Stick-Slip Nonlinearity
Thomas Barois, A. Boucherie, L. Tadrist +1
We present a locomotion mechanism that uses the stick-slip transition of a soft passive structure with an internal mechanical resonance. The structure is harmonically driven by a g…
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…
Roadmap for Animate Matter
Giorgio Volpe, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Maria Guix +37
Humanity has long sought inspiration from nature to innovate materials and devices. As science advances, nature-inspired materials are becoming part of our lives. Animate materials…
Evidence and quantification of memory effects in competitive first passage events
M. Dolgushev, T. V. Mendes, B. Gorin +6
Splitting probabilities quantify the likelihood of a given outcome out of competitive events. This key observable of random walk theory, historically introduced as the gambler's ru…
