Mechanical probing of liquid foam ageing
We present experimental results on the Stokes experiment performed in a 3D dry liquid foam. The system is used as a rheometric tool: from the force exerted on a 1 cm glass bead, plunged at controlled velocity in the foam in a quasi-static regime, local foam properties are probed around the sphere. With this original and simple technique, we show the possibility of measuring the foam shear modul...
متن کاملProbing Models of Quantum Space–Time Foam
We review the possibility that quantum fluctuations in the structure of space-time at the Planck scale might be subject to experimental probes. We study the effects of space-time foam in an approach inspired by string theory, in which solitonic D-brane excitations are taken into account when considering the ground state. We model the properties of this medium by analyzing the recoil of a D part...

The mechanic...
متن کاملMechanical Deformation Accelerates Protein Ageing.
A hallmark of tissue ageing is the irreversible oxidative modification of its proteins. We show that single proteins, kept unfolded and extended by a mechanical force, undergo accelerated ageing in times scales of minutes to days. A protein forced to be continuously unfolded completely loses its ability to contract by folding, becoming a labile polymer. Ageing rates vary among different protein...
متن کاملHow topological rearrangements and liquid fraction control liquid foam stability.
The stability of foam is investigated experimentally through coalescence events. Instability (coalescence) occurs when the system is submitted to external perturbations (T1) and when the liquid amount in the film network is below a critical value. Microscopically, transient thick films are observed during film rearrangements. Film rupture, with coalescence and eventual collapse of the foam, occ...
