Regular and Anomalous Motion of Individual Magnetic Quincke Rollers Under Rotating Magnetic Field
Zoran M. Cenev, Ville S. I. Havu, Jaakko V. I. Timonen
We report the motion of individual magnetic Quincke rollers composed of silica particles doped with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, whose activity arises from the coupl…
Unlocking the full potential of jumping condensation on microstructured surfaces
Mariia S. Kiseleva, Tytti Karki, Mika Latikka +11
Water condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces can generate spontaneous droplet jumping, enabling rapid condensate removal and improved thermal and mass transfer. Although this ef…
Living Capillary Bridges
Tytti Kärki, Senna Luntama, Yasamin Modabber +5
Biological tissues exhibit complex behaviors with their dynamics often resembling inert soft matter such as liquids, polymers, colloids, and liquid crystals. These analogies enable…
Active Rosensweig Patterns
Carlo Rigoni, Max Philipp Holl, Alberto Scacchi +5
Ferrofluids, colloidal dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles, are renowned for pattern formation like few other materials. The Rosensweig instability of a horizontal ferrofluid-air…
