Benoit Roman, CNRS silver medal 2025

Benoit Roman (right), CNRS research scientist at PMMH and a member of the MecaWet team, has just been awarded the CNRS Silver Medal. As a specialist in experimental mechanics involving large (...)


Cheese-rosettes-friction

Uneven maturation and friction make Swiss cheese shavings resemble jagged flowers. “Tête de moine” (Monk’s Head) is traditionally eaten or served by scraping the top of the cheese wheel with a (...)

Collective motion in bacterial suspensions is scale-free

Nature abounds with highly performative collective behaviors, from bird flocks and fish schools to ant colonies and multicellular tissues. Comparable emergent dynamics arise in bacterial suspensions, where hydrodynamic interactions drive self-orga... (...)


A microfluidic band-pass filter for flexible fiber separation

Flexible fibers are common in nature and technology, from biological filaments to nanomaterials and pollutants. However, sorting these deformable, anisotropic objects in flow remains difficult. We show that microfluidic devices with tilted pillar ... (...)

Lifetime and fluctuations of specific bonds between anisotropic colloids mediated through depletion interactions

To fabricate large-scale structures using colloidal particle self-assembly, one of the main challenges is to prevent kinetic trapping ... (...)
