Droplets sitting on thin elastic sheets: A study with the boundary element method
Salik Sultan, Josua Grawitter, Gonçalo C. Antunes +1
Elasto-capillarity of a droplet wetting an elastic sheet provides an interesting system, both for fundamental and applied research. The droplet sinks into the sheet and assumes the…

Mechanical work extraction from an error-prone active dynamic Szilard engine
Luca Cocconi, Paolo Malgaretti, Holger Stark
Isothermal information engines operate by extracting net work from a single heat bath through measurement and feedback control. In this work, we analyze a realistic active Szilard…
