• Séminaire PMMH - Lucio Isa (ETH, Zurich)
  Vendredi 16 novembre 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Breaking the symmetry : Designing colloidal motors and swimming at oil-water interfaces
  Breaking symmetry is at the very core of achieving propulsion at the microscale, where viscous forces dominate. Nature has perfected a range of different strategies to reach this goal for swimming microorganisms, which scientists have taken inspiration from to produce artificial micro-swimmers [1]. A common way to (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Nicolas Taberlet (UCBL - ENS Lyon)
  Vendredi 30 novembre 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Morphogenèse glaciaire induite par ablation différentielle
  Les processus d'ablation de la glace sont multiples, la sublimation et la fonte étant dépendantes des conditions climatiques (ensoleillement, température, humidité, précipitations, vent…). Nous avons étudié la morphogenèse des « Zen Stones » qui se forment essentiellement sur le lac Baïkal au cours de la saison hivernale. (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Dimitry Kolomenskiy (JAMSTEC, Japon)
  Vendredi 7 décembre 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Bumblebee in flight and in digit
  Flight as a mode of animal locomotion emerges from interaction of internal biological systems with the external environment. Although it is currently, or even generally, unrealistic to fully reduce this problem to first principles, it proves possible and useful to combine low-dimensional models of biological (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Ory Schnitzer ( Imperial College London)
  Vendredi 14 décembre 11:00-12:00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Asymptotic modelling of superhydrophobic surfaces : Slip lengths, pressure-driven flows, lubrication interactions and resonant acoustics
