Reconfigurable Flows and Defect Landscape of Confined Active Nematics
Jérôme Hardoüin, Rian Hughes, Amin Doostmohammadi +5
Using novel micro-printing techniques, we develop a versatile experimental setup that allows us to study how lateral confinement tames the active flows and defect properties of the…

Capillary force on a tilted cylinder: AFM measurements
Sebastien Kosgodagan Acharige, Justine Laurent, Audrey Steinberger
We investigate the capillary force that applies on a tilted cylinder as a function of its dipping angle i, using a home-built tilting Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) with custom made…

AFM study of hydrodynamics in boundary layers around micro- and nanofibers
Julien Dupré de Baubigny, Michael Benzaquen, Caroline Mortagne +7
The description of hydrodynamic interactions between a particle and the surrounding liquid, down to the nanometer scale, is of primary importance since confined liquids are ubiquit…
