TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the study of the regulatory pathways that lead to swarming behavior of different model bacteria and the understanding of the transition between motile and sessile lifestyles of bacteria is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of aspect ratio of particles on the stability of both water-in-oil and oil-inwater emulsions is investigated experimentally, and the results demonstrate that interfaces with controlled surface rheology, as obtained by using shape induced capillary forces and packing effects, can be used for the rational design of Pickering emulsion and other types of high interface materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enables the self-completing growth of densely packed crystallite layers in a patterned fashion, a concept that is illustrated by monitoring water adsorption.

TL;DR: The mechanical properties of these monolayers, as measured by surface shear rheology, showed that the monolayer of ellipsoids exhibit a substantial surface modulus even at low surface coverage and can be used to create more elastic monol layers compared to aggregate networks of spheres of the same size and surface properties.

TL;DR: In this article, Ni-SiC composite coatings containing 4−5 vol.% submicron SiC particles were evaluated in uni-and bi-directional sliding tests against corundum balls.
