Stabilizing fluid-fluid displacements in porous media through wettability alteration
We study experimentally how wettability impacts fluid-fluid-displacement patterns in granular
media. We inject a low-viscosity fluid (air) into a thin bed of glass beads initially saturated …

Pore dynamics in lipid membranes
I Gozen, P Dommersnes - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2014 - Springer
Transient circular pores can open in plasma membrane of cells due to mechanical stress,
and failure to repair such pores lead to cell death. Similar pores in the form of defects also …
