“…Remarkably, the structures observed by Brown differ significantly from the periodic square lattice predicted 82 to be the minimum energy state for ideal quadrupoles. This suggests that, to obtain long-ranged order, it may be crucial to reduce the magnitude of the capillary interaction to values for which thermal fluctuations, or mechanical ''stirring'', 83,84 can help reaching the minimum energy state. Obtaining ordered structures may also require designing particles that present an ordered state having a much lower energy than all the other metastable states, as in general is expected for all forms of self-assembly.…”

Micro and nanoparticle adsorption to and assembly by capillarity at fluid-fluid interfaces are intriguing aspects of soft matter science with broad potential in the directed assembly of anisotropic media. The importance of the field stems from the ubiquitous presence of multiphase systems, the malleability of fluid interfaces, and the ability to tune the interactions of the particles adsorbed on them. While homogeneous spherical particles at interfaces have been well studied, the behavior of anisotropic particles -whether the anisotropy originates from shape or chemical heterogeneity -has been considered only very recently. We review recent advances in the field of anisotropic particles at fluid interfaces, by focusing on particles in the micron and submicron range. We discuss capillary adsorption, orientation, migration, and self-assembly, on planar and curved interfaces, and the rheology of particle-laden interfaces. Prospects for future work and outstanding challenges are also discussed.

“…4 Despite similar evidence of population extinction in European fish populations due to an emerging fungal disease 5 and the associated risk of food aquaculture, 6,7,8 our understanding of global distribution of fish fungal pathogens today remains limited. 9,10,11 This limitation which is characterized by a severe under reporting from the scientific community, stems from a lack of diagnostic power in aquatic systems, the chronic nature of these diseases, which spread slowly through populations and their lack of obvious external pathological signs in the hosts during the initial phase of infection.…”

Recent years have seen a global and rapid resurgence of fungal diseases with direct impact on biodiversity and local extinctions of amphibian, coral, or bat populations. Despite similar evidence of population extinction in European fish populations and the associated risk of food aquaculture due to the emerging rosette agent Sphaerothecum destruens, an emerging infectious eukaryotic intracellular pathogen on the fungal–animal boundary, our understanding of current threats remained limited. Long-term monitoring of population decline for the 8-year post-introduction of the fungal pathogen was coupled with seasonal molecular analyses of the 18S rDNA and histological work of native fish species organs. A phylogenetic relationship between the existing EU and US strains using the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer sequences was also carried out. Here, we provide evidence that this emerging parasite has now been introduced via Pseudorasbora parva to sea bass farms, an industry that represents over 400 M€ annually in a Mediterranean region that is already economically vulnerable. We also provide for the first time evidence linking S. destruens to disease and severe declines in International Union for Conservation of Nature threatened European endemic freshwater fishes (i.e. 80% to 90 % mortalities). Our findings are thus of major economic and conservation importance.

Using laser Doppler vibrometry to measure capillary surface waves on fluid-fluid interfaces

Capillary wave phenomena are challenging to study, especially for microfluidics where the wavelengths are short, the frequencies are high, and the frequency distribution is rarely confined to a narrow range, let alone a single frequency. Those that have been studying Faraday capillary waves generated by vertical oscillation have chosen to work at larger scales and at low frequencies as a solution to this problem, trading simplicity in measurement for issues with gravity, boundary conditions, and the fidelity of the subharmonic capillary wave motion. Laser Doppler vibrometry using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is an attractive alternative: The interface's motion can be characterized at frequencies up to 40 MHz and displacements of as little as a few tens of picometers.
