Yield stress fluids are materials that behave as elastic solids under low applied stresses but flow like viscous liquids once a critical threshold is exceeded. Their microstructure typically comprises ...

Our research group utilizes three state-of-the-art experimental setups (see below) to investigate reservoir fluid properties, including phase transitions of pure fluids and mixtures confined in ...

Shear thickening fluids are dense suspensions that exhibit a striking increase in viscosity when subjected to applied stress or shear rate. At rest or under gentle flow these materials behave like low ...

Time evolution of the bubble shape for shell thicknesses of 1 nm and 10 nm under the same ultrasound conditions. A thin shell allows large deformations and can lead to the formation of a jet toward ...

Supercritical fluids are crucial to understand giant planets such as Jupiter and Neptune, where similar states of matter may reign. A study now published in Nature Communications brings remarkable ...

Quantum fluids are exotic states of matter that exhibit unique properties governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. These fluids, which include superfluids and superconductors, have captured the ...
