The mechanics of fibrous materials is both complex and intriguing. Here, we explore one class of such materials, made of the disordered entanglement of a single long coiled fiber. This architected material is of both…
Lorsque une goutte s’étale sur un substrat, le déplacement de son contour (la ligne de contact) résulte de la compétition entre forces capillaires, motrices, et dissipation. La viscosité du liquide…
07/04/2017 – G. Baffou – Institut Fresnel, Marseille – Nanoparticules d’or comme nanosources photothermiques – Sous illumination à leur résonance plasmon (visible->IR), des nanoparticules d’or se comportent comme des sources de chaleur nanométriques contrôlables à distance…
Séminaire régulier IUSTI – 24 mars 2017 – 11h salle 250 Annulé Medhi Bouzid –
This talk will discuss the mathematical modelling challenges in the fabrication process for a new breed of technologically important optical fibres known as “microstructured optical fibres”, or MOFs. In contrast to traditional fibres which…
When a bubble reaches an air-liquid interface, it ruptures, projecting a multitude of tiny droplets in the air (see top sequence of attached figure). Across the oceans, an estimated…
Microprocessor manufacturers often use a metal-organic vapor to create, for example, copper lines or hafnium oxide dielectric layers. Operating the vapor delivery device requires knowledge of the compound’s vapor pressure, and the most accurate way to obtain that knowledge is also the simplest…
