🎱Fancy a game of billiards with liquid droplets?💧New letter from Lin et al. reveals that Leidenfrost droplets can rebound off each other like billiard balls on a hot surface! This challenges traditional views on droplet collisions. @ go.aps.org/4fPK6CH #fluiddynamics

1/4: Curious about how helical structures impact droplet motion? 💧 In our published study, we explore the dynamics of asymmetrical droplets on vertically twisted fibers. 🧵⬇️ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We are hiring!!! The team is seeking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher expert in RNA biochemistry. Position to be filled before April 2025. Additional information and application emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR…

In this Physical Review Fluids paper, we quantify numerically the Stokes drift and Eulerian viscous streaming contributions to the Lagrangian mean flow generation, offering new insights into orbital sloshing wave dynamics beyond traditional inviscid models. doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

🚨 PhD opportunities available! 🚨 I have two open #PhDpositions in my group: 1️⃣ For international EU students (deadline in 1 week!) 2️⃣ For home-UK students If you’re excited about synthetic cells, don’t miss out! 📄 Apply here: continilab.com/join-us/

New paper : grasp.uliege.be/cms/c_13485513…

After my #STATPHYS29 talk, we showcased GRASPion.be — our robotic platform for active matter. Exciting contacts & great feedback! Thanks to the GRASP.uliege.be team 🙌 #ActiveMatter #Robotics #Uliege

Our recent article "Run and tumble dynamics of active Janus vesicles" in Soft Matter has been featured on the cover of the journal. Check out the published article: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Congrats to Vivien Willems for this nice work!

Our new study from Joanne Steiner’s PhD work and with C. Morize, P. Gondret, and I. Delbende has just been published in Physical Review Fluids ! We study vortex rings generated when a disk moves toward or away from a wall. doi.org/10.1103/ynxr-z… Laboratoire FAST UMD Research UMD Department of Mechanical Engineering

🧩 New preprint! We present the latest version of our GRASPions – intelligent “brainbots” for soft & active matter experiments 🤖🌊 📄 arXiv:2509.07437 🌐 graspion.be | grasp.uliege.be #ActiveMatter #Robotics #SoftMatter

🌀 New paper in Physical Review Fluids We go beyond the Cheerios Effect and introduce the Pringles Effect 🍥 — how curved, floating particles self-assemble side-by-side or end-to-end through capillary forces. Programmable self-assembly ! 👉 doi.org/10.1103/f3tr-k…
