Snap-off production of monodisperse droplets
Solomon Barkley, Eric R. Weeks, Kari Dalnoki-Veress
We introduce a novel technique to produce monodisperse droplets through the snap-off mechanism. The methodology is simple, versatile, and requires no specialized or expensive compo…
Self-amplification of solid friction in interleaved assemblies
Hector Alarcon, Thomas Salez, Christophe Poulard +4
It is nearly impossible to separate two interleaved phonebooks when held by their spines. A full understanding of this astonishing demonstration of solid friction in complex assemb…
Symmetry Plays a Key Role in the Erasing of Patterned Surface Features
Michael Benzaquen, Mark Ilton, Michael V. Massa +4
We report on how the relaxation of patterns prepared on a thin film can be controlled by manipu- lating the symmetry of the initial shape. The validity of a lubrication theory for…
Cooperative Strings and Glassy Interfaces
Thomas Salez, Justin Salez, Kari Dalnoki-Veress +2
We introduce a minimal theory of glass formation based on the ideas of molecular crowding and resultant string-like cooperative rearrangement, and address the effects of free inter…
Influence of Slip on the Plateau-Rayleigh Instability on a Fibre
Sabrina Haefner, Michael Benzaquen, Oliver Baümchen +6
The Plateau-Rayleigh instability of a liquid column underlies a variety of fascinating phenomena that can be observed in everyday life. In contrast to the case of a free liquid cyl…
