In particular, we rationalize the transition between coalescence-dominated, bending-dominated, and swelling-dominated regimes, and enumerate the subtle interfacial mechanisms at play in the ratcheting of a fluid droplet trapped between the curling beams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/content\/articlelanding\/2016\/sm\/c6sm00329j#!divAbstract\">http:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/content\/articlelanding\/2016\/sm\/c6sm00329j#!divAbstract<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/moss\/files\/2016\/06\/SM_Cover_2016.jpg\"><img src=\"\/moss\/files\/2016\/06\/SM_Cover_2016.jpg\" alt=\"SM_Cover_2016\" width=\"100%\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/moss\/files\/2016\/06\/SM_Cover_2016.jpg 2473w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/moss\/files\/2016\/06\/SM_Cover_2016-484x636.jpg 484w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/moss\/files\/2016\/06\/SM_Cover_2016-779x1024.jpg 779w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2473px) 100vw, 2473px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising Beyond Elastocapillarity Douglas P.
