We introduce a novel technique for grabbing water with a flexible solid. This new passive pipetting mechanism was inspired by floating flowers and relies purely on the coupling of the elasticity of thin plates and the hydrodynamic forces at the liquid inte ...
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of rolling elastic ribbons. Particular attention is given to characterizing the steady shapes that arise in static and dynamic rolling configurations. In both cases, above a cr ...
Macroscale analogues(1-3) of microscopic spin systems offer direct insights into fundamental physical principles, thereby advancing our understanding of synchronization phenomena(4) and informing the design of novel classes of chiral metamaterials(5-7). He ...

We present the results of a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the coalescence of a drop with a liquid reservoir of a miscible but distinct fluid. Particular attention is given to elucidating the influence on the coalescence process of a ...
