• Séminaire PMMH - Corrado Rainone (ITP Univ. of Amsterdam)
  Vendredi 24 mai 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Addressing the protocol dependence of glass plasticity and yielding
  The glassy slowdown is a phenomenon whereupon a liquid, when supercooled below its melting point, exhibits a dramatic slowdown of its dynamics, such that it rapidly becomes impossible to maintain it equilibrated on feasible experimental timescales. The resulting out-of-equilibrium system is referred to as a glass, (...)
• Séminaire PMMH- Tom Mullin (Univ Oxford)
  Vendredi 31 mai 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Levitation by Thin Viscous Layers
  The results of experimental investigations into balancing cuboids, cylinders and spheres‘ on a vertical moving wall which is covered a thin layer of viscous fluid are discussed. It is found that balance can be achieved over a narrow range of speeds in all cases. Systematic results for spheres and cylinders have (...)
• Séminaire PMMH-Nicolas Vandewalle (Université de Liège)
  Vendredi 21 juin 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Milliswimmers : Self-assembling complex and functional structures at the (sub)millimeter scale
  When soft ferromagnetic particles are suspended at air-water interfaces in the presence of a vertical magnetic field, dipole-dipole repulsion competes with capillary attraction such that structures self-assemble. The complex arrangements of such floating bodies are emphasized. By adding a horizontal and (...)
