Does aquatic foraging impact head shape evolution in snakes ?
M. Segall, R. Cornette, A.-C. Fabre, R. Godoy-Diana, A. Herrel ; Proc. R. Soc. B, 283, 20161645, (2016) Evolutionary trajectories are often biased by developmental and historical factors. However, environmental factors can also impose (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

Book : Generation and Applications of Extra-Terrestrial Environments on Earth
Daniel A. Beysens and Jack J.W. A. van Loon This book has been prepared under the auspice of the European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA). The main task of ELGRA is to foster the scientific community in Europe and beyond in conducting (...)

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 (...)
