Tomer Goldfriend [1] Hydrodynamic interaction between two arbitrarily shaped colloids
Sela Samin [1] Stabilization of Colloids by the Addition of Salt
We present a mechanism for the stabilization of colloids in liquid mixtures when a salt is added.
Yohai Bar Sinai [1] How interfacial dynamics affect global frictional behaviour?
Frictional interfaces are abundant in natural and man-made systems, and predicting their behavior still poses challenges...
Ilya Svetlizky The structure of rupture fronts at the onset of frictional motion
Understanding the failure of frictional interfaces and its spatiotemporal structure is crucial for our fundamental under...
Michael Moshe Metric Description of Defects in Amorphous Elastic Materials
We suggest a description for dislocations, using a torsion-free Riemannian manifold equipped with a reference metric.
