Droplet on a sugar fiber
The motion of a water droplet on a single vertical sugar fiber is analyzed. The fiber is positioned vertically, with the droplet placed at its pending end. If the capillary force exceeds the weight of the droplet, the droplet remains suspended at the fiber's extremity. As water dissolves, the fiber eventually breaks. Subsequently, the droplet may fall down carrying a portion of the undissolved fiber or, more interestingly, the droplet may be propelled upwards, remaining attached to the fiber. T…

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Mating by copepods is a complicated process since they are always at risk of predation by other plankton or fishes. Male #copepods carefully mechanically and chemically track a receptive female, capture them, and deposit an adhesive spermatophore near the genital open…

Das #Leckerli zum Probieren:
Bei #Möhrenkuchen denke ich immer: Boah, voll gesund. 🤣 Wenn es witzig sein soll, könnt ihr zusätzlich Dekomöhren drauflegen. 🥕🍰 Ein köstlicher Kuchen, der nicht nur #Osterhasen

Möhrenkuchen
Möhren sollen ja voll gut für die Augen sein... sagt man. Und so gesund. Deshalb sind in diesem Kuchen nicht nur Möhren drin sondern auch drauf. Besonders lecker ist Möhren, wenn er schön saftig ist. Nach Möhren...

To spur the construction of affordable, resilient homes, the future is concrete
When most Americans imagine a home, they picture a wood-framed house. But in an era of high housing costs and extreme weather events, precast concrete offers a mix of durability and efficiency.

Stability of discrete-symmetry flocks: sandwich state, traveling domains and motility-induced pinning
Polar flocks in discrete active systems are often assumed to be robust, yet recent studies reveal their fragility under both imposed and spontaneous fluctuations. Here, we revisit the four-state active Potts model (APM) and show that its globally ordered phase is metastable across a broad swath of parameter space. Small counter-propagating droplets disrupt the flocking phase by inducing a persistent sandwich state, where the droplet-induced opposite-polarity lane remains embedded within the ori…

Deformation of ellipsoidal droplets in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence
We study the statistics of deformation of neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT), wherein the characteristic droplet size $R$ is smaller than the characteristic Kolmogorov scale $η$ of the turbulent flow. We systematically focus on the characterization of droplet statistics obtained with various phenomenological ellipsoidal models (EMs) -- assuming that the droplet preserves the ellipsoidal shape at all times - with the droplet moving as a passive tracer in the tu…
