Bubbles “dancing” in tune
A new publication that results from a collaboration with colleagues in Singapore and Germany is out: In-phase synchronization between two auto-oscillating bubbles. Published in Physical Review Fluids, we demonstrate that bubbles driven with a constant heat source can couple with each other and yield in-phase synchronization, even in the absence of an external sound field.

First paper comparing jet injection with tattooing techniques is online!
With the title High-speed imaging of solid needle and liquid micro-jet injections, it has been selected by the Editor of the Journal of Applied Physics as a Featured article. we found that microjet injections are superior to solid injections in terms of energy and volumetric delivery efficiencies per injection for three different liquids. In fact, we could […]
