    • Packing soft spheres: experimental demonstrations with hydrogels 

      Hutzler, Stefan; Weaire, Denis (2023)
      We describe a number of different experimental set-ups that use hydrogel spheres to demonstrate dense packings of deformable spheres in various geometries. The arrangements are similar to those of bubbles in foams, ...

    • Stability maps for columnar structures 

      Hutzler, Stefan; Weaire, Denis (2023)
      We have previously explored the hysteresis and reversibility of transitions between ordered packings of soft spheres of diameter d in cylindrical channels of diameter D [A. Mughal, J. Winkelmann, D. Weaire, S. Hutzler, ...

    • Structures of columnar packings with soft and hard spheres 

      WINKELMANN, JENS (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2020)
      Columnar structures refer to dense cylindrical packings of spheres. They are ubiquitous throughout botany, foams, and have recently also become popular in nanoscience. We investigate such structures by carrying out computer ...
