Turbulent mixing controls fixation of growing antagonistic populations
Jonathan Bauermann, Roberto Benzi, David R. Nelson +2
Unlike coffee and cream that homogenize when stirred, growing micro-organisms (e.g., bacteria, baker's yeast) can actively kill each other and avoid mixing. How do such antagonisti…
Lagrangian statistics of dense emulsions
Ivan Girotto, Andrea Scagliarini, Roberto Benzi +1
The dynamics of dense stabilized emulsions presents a rich phenomenology including chaotic emulsification, non-Newtonian rheology and ageing dynamics at rest. Macroscopic rheology…
Direct observations of causal links in plastic events validates statistical analysis tools for seismology
Pinaki Kumar, Roberto Benzi, Jeannot Trampert +1
Earthquakes are complex physical processes driven by the stick-slip motion of a sliding fault. After the main quake, a series of aftershocks typically follows. These are loosely de…
Continuum modeling of Soft Glassy Materials under shear
Roberto Benzi, Thibaut Divoux, Catherine Barentin +3
Soft Glassy Materials (SGM) consist in dense amorphous assemblies of colloidal particles of multiple shapes, elasticity, and interactions, which confer upon them solid-like propert…
Reconciling Parker Solar Probe observations and magnetohydrodynamic theory
Tommaso Alberti, Simone Benella, Giuseppe Consolini +2
The Parker Solar Probe mission provides a unique opportunity to characterize several features of the solar wind at different heliocentric distances. Recent findings have shown a tr…
Oceanic frontal divergence alters phytoplankton competition and distribution
Abigail Plummer, Mara Freilich, Roberto Benzi +5
Ecological interactions among phytoplankton occur in a moving fluid environment. Oceanic flows can modulate the competition and coexistence between phytoplankton populations, which…
