"Germain Curvature: The Case for Naming the Mean Curvature of a Surface after Sophie Germain" (by Douglas P. Holmes): arxiv.org/abs/2303.13615

With MePhy and Corentin Coulais, we're organizing a one-day thematic workshop at ESPCI Paris - PSL on Soft mechanical metamaterials on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. You can still register to take part in the workshop online! See details here (French time!) : mephysociety.wordpress.com/mephy-day-soft…

Our study of the dip coating of fiber suspensions is now online in JCIS doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis…! We looked at the conditions under which fibers are entrained on different substrates and how capillary effects can help align them. Congrats Deok-Hoon Jeong, Michael x2 & Nathan Vani!

One week ago, we had a group trip to Madrid to attend EuroMech Mechanics of Materials European Mechanics of Materials Conference. Paellas, soft & slender structures, and I even received the Best Student Presentation Award! Good times!

How does the angle of a nozzle influence the clogging of suspensions? Better to make it slender!
