Disinfection by hydrogen peroxide at low concentration in air: The key role of condensation, Désinfection par peroxyde d'hydrogène à faible concentration dans l'air : le rôle clé de la condensation

P. Destrez, Daniel Beysens

Gazeous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ) is commonly used for disinfection of room surfaces or sterilization of medical devices. Disinfection and sterilization processes are controlled by mean values measured at sterilizer chamber or room level. However, the surface phenomena (adsorption/ condensation)…, Le peroxyde d'hydrogène gazeux (H2O2) est couramment utilisé pour la désinfection des surfaces des locaux ou la stérilisation des dispositifs médicaux. Les processus de désinfection et de stérilisation sont contrôlés par des valeurs moyennes mesurées au niveau de la chambre ou de la pièce du…

Morphogenesis of cheese flowers through scraping, Morphogenèse des fleurs de fromage par raclage

Jishen Zhang, A Ibarra, B Roman, M Ciccotti

The “Tête de moine” Swiss cheese is generally served by scraping the surface of a cylindrical loaf with a sharp tool. This produces thin sheets of cheese that are strongly wrinkled at the edge, resembling frilly flowers and enhancing the tasting experience. In this work we unveil the physical…

On the shape of air bubbles trapped in ice

Virgile Thiévenaz, Jochem G Meijer, Detlef Lohse, Alban Sauret

Water usually contains dissolved gases, and because freezing is a purifying process these gases must be expelled for ice to form. Bubbles appear at the freezing front and are then trapped in ice, making pores. These pores come in a range of sizes from microns to millimeters and their shapes are…
