The active intruder motion promotes ordering on a granular media. (downloaded for free before June 15) authors.elsevier.com/a/1i%7Enm_8cij…

The overall order and fluidization degrees were found to be the primary influences on the intruder’s penetration length. Active intruders move more quickly through disordered regions than through ordered regions. authors.elsevier.com/a/1i%7Enm_8cij…

It was a pleasure to give a talk on Colloidal Soft Matter Physics at the Autonomous University of the Hidalgo State. Thanks Fernando Donado for the invitation!

Our review on the effects of geometry and confinement on the self-assembly and transport behavior of colloids is finally out. annualreviews.org/content/journa… Fernando Donado @Jacinta_Conrad

Self-Assembly and Transport Phenomena of Colloids: Confinement and Geometrical Effects | Annual Reviews - go.shr.lc/3XrJICM In the video, a magnetically fluidized system, used as a macroscopic model, is confined by rigid walls. Ramón Castañeda-Priego,Korxiaguin

In our recent Open Access contribution in Soft Matter, we study crystallisation in a granular system confined between plates, one fixed and the other that is free to move across the system, using acoustic vibrations - pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

A mobile plate moving over particles in a vibrating granular system creates an effective potential that pushes particles into an ordered configuration, stabilised by electric charges. Thanks, ignaas1903, for this collaboration. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

In our recent contribution rdcu.be/d5rt5 in Scientific Reports, Optimisation of the crystallisation process through staggered cooling in a nonvibrating granular system, we proposed a method to reduce crystallisation time. Please, read this work!

In our recent work we study the effect of particle concentration on the persistence of motion in active matter systems. Free access, during 50 days, from the link authors.elsevier.com/a/1kP5J1M2-2MA… We use an active magnetic granular system and Hexbugs.

From superdiffusive to diffusive motion, from individual to coordinate behavior, and from free to arrested states when changing particle concentration can be observed in a combined video from some results shown in our contribution authors.elsevier.com/a/1kP5J1M2-2MA…

Related to our recent work in Scientific Reports, rdcu.be/d5rt5, about optimising the crystallisation time, here is a comparison: for a given field step, the system crystallised or not, and for some step and height combinations, the crystallisation takes more time.

Here, Hexbugs are in a channel at different concentrations. Some self-assembled structures and a single-file diffusion behaviour are observed. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kP5J1M2-2MA…

Disclinations of five and seven neighbors during a melting process in a granular system of few particles. In some moment we can observed the formation of pairs of dislocations, dislocations and unbounded disclinations.

1/4 Did you know that using "square" shells in the radial distribution function allows it to detect crystal orientation? ⭕️➡️🔳 We're proud to share our new Physical Review E article where we modify the RDF to unlock this anisotropic property. Check it out: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

We study the effect of small container on crystallization, look for topological defects, and more. Please share the link if you know someone who might be interested in the topic. Thank you. The PDF can be downloaded for free, for the next 50 days, from: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lyNu1M2-2P%…

Strong spatial confinement imposes extreme restrictions on the final configuration of the particles. While hexagonal container favors the HCP arrangement, the rectangular cell imposes the square order, and the circular cell, the formation of necklace. authors.elsevier.com/a/1lyNu1M2-2P%…
