Interface Fragmentation via Horizontal Vibration: A Pathway to Scalable Monodisperse Emulsification
We present a scalable method for producing monodisperse microscale emulsions in a container holding two stably stratified layers of immiscible liquids by applying horizontal vibration. Our experiments and theoretical modelling show that the critical non-dimensional acceleration for regular droplet formation is governed by a shear-dominated breakup mechanism, which scales as $N^{-1/2} ω^{*3/2}$, where $N$ is the viscosity ratio and $ω^{*}$ is the frequency of forcing on the viscous-capillary s…

New Guardian documentary
Stand up comedy helps heal a Catholic parish: Fox Chase Boy
An altar boy at St Cecilia Catholic church in north-east Philadelphia when, at age 11, he became one of the victims of paedophile James Brzyski.
He has developed a one-man stage show that he performs to his close-knit parish. He speaks directly about a crime cloaked in silence.

Dynamical regimes of thermally convective emulsions
Emulsions are paramount in various interdisciplinary topical areas, yet a satisfactory understanding of their behavior in buoyancy-driven thermal flows has not been established. In the present work, we unravel the dynamical regimes of thermal convection in emulsions by leveraging a large set of mesoscale numerical simulations. Emulsions are prepared with a given volume fraction of the initially dispersed phase, $ϕ$, ranging from dilute (low values of $ϕ$) to jammed emulsions (high values of $…

A Weaponized AI Chatbot Is Flooding Canadian City Councils with Climate Misinformation
Thousands of councillors in more than 500 municipalities have received AI emails from a group called KICLEI, a name that mimics the international network ICLEI.

Tunable self-emulsification via viscoelastic control of Marangoni-driven interfacial instabilities
Interfacial instabilities in multicomponent fluidic systems are widespread in nature and in industrial processes, yet controlling their dynamics remains a challenge. Here, we present a strategy to actively tune Marangoni-driven self-emulsification at liquid-liquid interfaces by harnessing fluid viscoelasticity. When a water-alcohol droplet spreads on an oil bath, a radial surface tension gradient induced by selective alcohol evaporation drives an interfacial instability, leading to the spontane…

Adhesion differentials control the rheology of biomimetic emulsions
Animal morphogenesis involves complex tissue deformation processes, which require tight control over tissue rheology. Yet, it remains insufficiently understood how tissue rheology results from the interplay between cellular packing and cellular forces, such as cortical tension, cell pressure, and cell-cell adhesion. Here, we follow a biomimetic approach to study this interplay, focusing on the cellular adhesion hierarchy. We mimic adhesive cells with oil droplets whose adhesion strength and spe…
