When particles are deposited at a fluid interface they tend to aggregate by capillary
attraction to minimize the overall potential energy of the system. In this work, we embed …

Some animals form transient, responsive and solid-like ensembles through dynamic
structural interactions. These ensembles demonstrate emergent responses such as …

The Schlieren method intends to reveal the elevation of a refractive fluid–fluid interface. The
method is based on a comparison of images of a single pattern placed at the bottom of the …

Capillarity driven self-assembly is a way to create spontaneous structures along liquid
interfaces in between bottom-up and top-down fabrication methods. Based on multipolar …

At the surface of a liquid, the molecules have more energy than those in the bulk. This gives
birth to surface tension. In our everyday life, many manifestations of this phenomenon can …

The manipulation of small floating objects represents a crucial step in mesoscale and
microfabrication, or the self-aggregation of particles into functional devices. These tiny …

Measuring the topography of a fluid-fluid interface allows to observe and quantify elusive
phenomena such as waves, instabilities or the presence of particles. For transparent fluids …
