PRE Editors’ Suggestion - Physical processes causing the formation of penitentes
P. Claudin, H. Jarry, G. Vignoles, M. Plapp, and B. Andreotti, Phys. Rev. E 92, 033015 (2015) - Snow penitentes form in sublimation conditions by differential ablation. Here we investigate the physical processes at the initial stage of penitente (...)

Faraday wave lattice as an elastic metamaterial
L. Domino, M. Tarpin, S. Patinet, and A. Eddi ; Phys. Rev. E 93, 050202(R), (2016)
Metamaterials enable the emergence of novel physical properties due to the existence of an underlying subwavelength structure. Here, we use the Faraday instability...

Effect of friction on the peeling test at zero-degrees
S. Ponce, J. Bico, B. Roman; Soft Matter, 11, 9281-9290, (2015)
We describe the peeling of an elastomeric strip adhering to a glass plate through van der Waals interactions in the limit of a zero peeling angle. In contrast to classical studies that ...

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...
