A Cascade of droplets in a mixture of molten glass
Researchers from CNRS, ESPCI Paris, and Saint-Gobain used a 3D imaging technique of X-ray micro-tomography to follow the evolution of a mixture of molten glass at high temperature. They shed new light on an original mechanism of liquids (...)

PRE Editors’ Suggestion - Prediction of frequencies in thermosolutal convection from mean flows
S. E. Turton, L. S. Tuckerman and D. Barkley Phys. Rev. E 91, 043009 – Published 14 April 2015. Motivated by studies of the cylinder wake, in which the vortex-shedding frequency can be obtained from the mean flow, we study thermosolutal (...)

La nature pour modèle
Conçu au PMMH, ce micronageur artificiel, d’un diamètre d’un millimètre, reproduit les mouvements de l’anguille. Il est ici filmé (de gauche à droite) alors qu’il avance à une dizaine de centimètres par seconde. En haut et en noir, sa tête oscille sous (...)

Quand le vernis craque en rond
Des physiciens du PMMH viennent de mettre en évidence un nouveau mode de rupture d’un film mince déposé sur une surface. Lorsque cette couche craquèle tout en se décollant, les fissures forment des motifs particulièrement réguliers tels que spirales, (...)
