Research on non-equilibrium fluctuations in liquids is mainly of a fundamental character. Potential fields of interest relate mainly to …

Colloidal particles with directional interactions are key in the realization of new colloidal materials with possibly unconventional …

Recognizing and quantifying specific biomolecules in aqueous samples are constantly needed in research and diagnostic laboratories. As …

We show that nematic liquid crystals confined inside cubic scaffolds made by two-photon polymerization exhibit bistability and large …

The confinement of liquid crystals in geometries with frustrating boundary conditions gives rise to nontrivial effects such as …

Archer fish knock down insects anchored to vegetation by hitting them with a precisely aimed jet of water. The striking force of the …

Equilibrium fluctuations of thermodynamic variables, such as density or concentration, are known to be small and typically occur at a …

We introduce confocal differential dynamic microscopy (ConDDM), a new technique yielding information comparable to that given by light …

Thermophoresis is the rectification of Brownian motion induced by the presence of a thermal gradient ∇T, yielding a net drift of …

We present a new method to analyze quantitatively the wave front of a partially coherent x-ray beam. The technique is based on the use …
