When liquid drops impact on solid surfaces, an air layer forms in between the drop and the
surface, acting as a cushion to mitigate the impact. In this work, we focus on delineating the …

The time-resolved visualization of the dynamics of a cavitation bubble usually requires the
use of expensive high-speed cameras, which often provide a limited spatial resolution. In the …

Background A variety of imaging methods are available to obtain kinematic data at an
interface, with a widely varying range of spatial and temporal resolution. These methods …

A droplet falling toward a solid surface displaces the surrounding air until it encounters a
defect, and contact nucleates. On atomically smooth surfaces devoid of defects, contact can …

Fleeting contact between solids immersed in a fluid medium governs the response of
critically important materials, from coffee to soil. Rapid impact of soft solids occurs in systems …

Studying dynamic biological processes, such as heart development and function in
zebrafish embryos, often relies on multi-channel fluorescence labeling to distinguish …

Many natural and industrial processes involve fluid flow at a three phase interface between
liquid, solid and gas. When the liquid is forced to move rapidly over the solid surface, the …

L'apprentissage–principe vital de l'évolution–assure la transformation des données
primaires captées par nos sens en connaissances utiles ou idées abstraites et générales …

A motion-blurred image is the temporal average of multiple sharp frames over the exposure
time. Recovering these sharp video frames from a single blurred image is nontrivial, due to …

A central air bubble is observed to be maintained during the process of an elastic hemi-
sphere impacting on a smooth rigid surface. The similar phenomenon has been found in …
