Light selects non-equilibrium states of phase-separated droplets
Zi Lin, Thomas Beneyton, Suzanne Lafon +5
Driving phase-separated droplets out of equilibrium can oppose coarsening and trigger division. Selecting and sustaining these distinct states remains an important experimental cha…

Emulsion Electrocoalescence in microfluidics: impact of local electric fields
David Van Assche, Thomas Beneyton, Alexandre Baron +1
The mechanism of coalescence of aqueous droplet pairs under an electric field is quantitatively studied using microfluidics in quiescent conditions. We experimentally trap droplet…

Phase separation dependent active motion of Janus lipid vesicles
Vivien Willems, Alexandre Baron, Daniel A. Matoz Fernandez +4
Active colloidal systems have emerged as promising contenders for the future of microdevices. While conventional designs have extensively exploited the use of hard colloids, the ad…
