Metastable states of floating crystals
ULiège GRASP researchers are demonstrating how to trigger a transition from one state to another, either by rearranging the crystal or by controlling its growth.

On December 1st 2021, the PowderReg project (Interreg VA Grande Région) ended with a symposium with all the partners of the project in a unique site, the Abbaye des Prémontrés in Pont-à-Mousson (France).
Nicolas Preud’homme, a researcher from the GRASP lab, participated in the P&G conference to present a poster for his work on the effect of grain shape on the flow of granular materials. He just won the Best Poster Video Prize of the conference.
In our last paper to appear in Soft Matter, we evidence the subtle capillary interactions between floating objects along liquid interfaces.
