Reentrant transition to collective actuation in active solids with a polarizing field
Paul Baconnier, Mathéo Aksil, Vincent Démery +1
Collective actuation in active solids - the spontaneous coherent excitation of a few vibrational modes - emerges from a feedback between structural deformations and the orientation…

Shape of a membrane on a liquid interface with arbitrary curvatures
Zachariah S. Schrecengost, Seif Hejazine, Jordan V. Barrett +2
We study the deformation of a liquid interface with arbitrary principal curvatures by a flat circular sheet. Working first at small slopes, we determine the shape of the sheet anal…

Nonlinear conductivity of aqueous electrolytes: beyond the first Wien effect
Hélène Berthoumieux, Vincent Démery, A. C. Maggs
The conductivity of strong electrolytes increases under high electric fields, a nonlinear response known as the first Wien effect. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations we sho…
