Brainbots as smart autonomous active particles with programmable motion
M. Noirhomme, I. Mammadli, N. Vanesse +3
We present an innovative robotic device designed to provide controlled motion for studying active matter. Motion is driven by an internal vibrator powered by a small rechargeable b…
The Scallop Theorem and Swimming at the Mesoscale
Maxime Hubert, Oleg Trosman, Ylona Collard +4
By synergistically combining modeling, simulation and experiments, we show that there exists a regime of self-propulsion in which the inertia in the fluid dynamics can be separated…
Magnetoelastic instability in soft thin films
M. Poty, F. Weyer, G. Grosjean +2
Ferromagnetic particles are incorporated in a thin soft elastic matrix. A lamella, made of this smart material, is studied experimentally and modeled. We show herein that thin film…
Magnetocapillary self-assemblies: locomotion and micromanipulation along a liquid interface
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Nicolas Vandewalle
This paper presents an overview and discussion of magnetocapillary self-assemblies. New results are presented, in particular concerning the possible development of future applicati…
Flow of magnetic repelling grains in a two-dimensional silo
G. Lumay, J. Schockmel, D. Henández-Enríquez +3
During a typical silo discharge, the material flow rate is determined by the contact forces between the grains. Here, we report an original study concerning the discharge of a two-…
Rotation of a melting ice at the surface of a pool
S. Dorbolo, N. Adami, C. Dubois +3
Large circular ice blocks up to 80 m of diameter have been observed on frozen river around the world. This rare event has been reported in a publication in 1993. This fascinating s…
