Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic media

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Matthieu Francis Malléjac, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Stefan Rotter

Light and sound waves can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum, which has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum optics. Although impressive manip ...

Leap-frog transport of magnetically driven anisotropic colloidal rotors

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this article, we combine experiments and theory to investigate the transport properties of anisotropic hematite colloidal rotors that dynam ically assemble into translating clusters upon application of a rotating magnetic field. The applied field exerts ...

A Dynamical System Approach to Motion and Force Generation in Contact Tasks

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Walid Amanhoud

Many tasks require the robot to enter in contact with surfaces, be it to take support, to polish or to grasp an object. It is crucial that the robot controls forces both upon making contact and while in contact. While many solutions exist to control for co ...

Detailed experiments on weakly deformed cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Outi Supponen

We present high-precision experiments conducted with the aim to better characterise weak deformations of single cavitation bubbles. Using two needle hydrophones and a high-speed photodetector, we record the timings of shock waves and luminescence emitted a ...

Conducting polymer electrodes for auditory brainstem implants

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras, Amélie Anne Guex

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) restores hearing in patients with damaged auditory nerves. One of the main ideas to improve the efficacy of ABIs is to increase spatial specificity of stimulation, in order to minimize extra-auditory side-effects and to ...

Bedrock topography reconstruction of glaciers from surface topography and mass-balance data

Marco Picasso, Laurent Michel, Heinz Blatter, Martin Funk

Three methods based on the three-dimensional shallow ice approximation of glacier flow are devised that infer a glacier's subglacial topography from the observation of its time-evolving surface and mass balance. The quasi-stationary inverse method relying ...

Estimating the Ice Thickness of Mountain Glaciers from Surface Topography and Mass-Balance Data

Laurent Michel

The question addressed is the determination of a glacier’s subglacial topography, given surface topography and mass-balance data. The input data can be obtained relatively easily for a large number of glaciers. Several methods essentially based on the shal ...

Photon energy dependence of the light pressure exerted onto a thin silicon slab

Giovanni Boero, Franz-Karl Reinhart

We review the theory of ponderomotive forces of classical nonionizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation exerted on dispersive matter. Minkowski's EM energy and momentum density lack any dispersion term in contrast to Nelson's theory, where they are included n ...

Torsion-rotation analysis of OH stretch overtone-torsion combination bands in methanol

Thomas Rizzo

We report rotationally resolved spectra of jet-cooled methanol for the OH stretch overtones, 2v(1) and 3v(1), and for the torsional combinations, 2v(1)+v(12), 2v(1)+2v(12), 3v(1)+v(12), and 3v(1)+2v(12). The spectra are obtained by direct excitation from t ...
