Microrheology probes the mechanical behaviour of complex fluids, colloidal suspensions, polymer networks and biological soft materials by tracking the motion of embedded micro- or nano-scale probes.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
