• Water impacting on superhydrophobic macrotextures

  Anaïs Gauthier, Sean Symon, Christophe Clanet, David Quéré ; Nature Comm., 6, 8001, (2015) It has been recently shown that the presence of macrotextures on superhydrophobic materials can markedly modify the dynamics of water impacting them, and (...)

  
  

• Turning bacterial suspensions into a "superfluid"

  H.M. Lopez, J. Gachelin, C. Douarche, H.Auradou, E. Clément ; Phys. Rev. Lett., 115, 28301, (2015) The rheological response under simple shear of an active suspension of Escherichia coli is determined in a large range of shear rates and (...)

  
  

• Droplets move over viscoelastic substrates by surfing a ridge

  Karpitschka S., Das S., van Gorcum M., Perrin H., Andreotti B. & Snoeijer J.H., Nature Comm., 6, 7891, (2015) Liquid drops on soft solids generate strong deformations below the contact line, resulting from a balance of capillary and elastic (...)

  The force of impacting rain

  D. Soto, A. Borel De Larivière, X. Boutillon, C. Clanet and D. Quéré, Soft Matter, 2014, 10, 4929. Drop impacts are difficult to characterize due to their transient, non-stationary nature. We discuss the force generated during such impacts, a (...)

  Microrheology to probe non-local effects in dense granular flows

  M. Bouzid, M. Trulsson, P. Claudin, E. Clément and B. Andreotti, EPL, 109 (2015) 24002. A granular material is observed to flow under the Coulomb yield criterion as soon as this criterion is satisfied in a remote but contiguous region of (...)
