A trade-off between hydrodynamic performance and morphological bias limits the evolution of symmetric lattice animal wings
Sif F. Arnbjerg-Nielsen, Matthew D. Biviano, Annette Cazaubiel +3
Bristled and membranous insect wings have co-evolved despite apparently serving the same functionality. We emulate flight physics using an automated free-fall experiment to better…

Traversing a thin lubricant film in finite time
John Sebastian, Alexander L. Schødt, Kaare H. Jensen
In this study, we investigate the dynamics of particles overcoming the hydrodynamic barrier posed by a thin fluid film to achieve contact in finite time, a phenomenon critical in v…
