We demonstrate that gravity acting alone at large length scales, can produce a jet from a large amplitude, axisymmetric surface deformation imposed on a quiescent, deep pool of liquid. Mechanistically, the jet owes it origin to the…
Leidenfrost ratchets are structures with the ability of transporting liquid droplets when heated over the critical Leidenfrost temperature. Once this temperature is reached, the droplet levitates over the surface and moves in the direction…
Microscopic vapor explosions or cavitation bubbles can be generated periodically in an optical tweezer with a microparticle that partially absorbs at the trapping laser wavelength. In this work we measure the size distribution and the…
We demonstrate an intense, continuous cold atom beam generated via post nozzle seeding of a supersonic helium jet with $^7$Li atoms. The nozzle is cooled to about 4.4 K to reduce the forward velocity of the atoms. The atomic beam is brought…
The development of microfluidic devices is still hindered by the lack of robust fundamental building blocks that constitute any fluidic system. An attractive approach is optical actuation because light field interaction is contactless and…
The work show the characterization of a particle laden turbulent jet. For the velocity and mass flux masurements, a PDA system has been used. Either the continuous phase (air) or the dispersed phase (glass spheres) are measured; also, the…
We exploit the effect of light-induced atomic desorption to produce high atomic densities ($n\gg k^3$) in a rubidium vapor cell. An intense off-resonant laser is pulsed for roughly one nanosecond on a micrometer-sized sapphire-coated cell,…
When an asymmetric bubble collapses it generally produces a well defined high velocity jet. This is remarkable because one might expect such a collapse to produce a complex or chaotic flow rather than an ordered one. I present a dimensional…
Ultrafast laser ablation is an extremely precise and clean method of removing material, applied in material processing as well as medical applications. And due to its violent nature, it tests our understanding of the interplay between…
Three-dimensional, time-dependent direct simulations of step emulsification micro-devices highlight two essential mechanisms for droplet formation: first, the onset of an adverse pressure gradient driving a back-flow of the continuous phase…
A spontaneous breakup of a liquid jet results in the formation of a chain of droplets, which is a daily observed phenomenon, such as in the raining process and under an open water-faucet. We here report inkjet printing experiments for the…
It is observed that the interaction of an intense ultra-short laser pulse with an overdense gas jet results in the pulse collapse and the deposition of a significant part of energy in a small and well localized volume in the rising part of…

The generation of astrophysically relevant jets, from magnetically collimated, laser-produced plasmas, is investigated through three-dimensional, magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. We show that for laser intensities I ~ 10^12 - 10^14 W/cm^2,…
A high sensitivity, 7mm Very Long Baseline Array image of M\,87 was previously analyzed in order to estimate the bulk flow jet velocity between 0.4 and 0.65 mas from the point of origin using the asymmetry between the well-characterized…
It has been recently discovered that spatially separated Herbig-Haro objects, once considered unrelated, are linked within a chain that may extend for parsecs in either direction of the embedded protostar forming a "giant Herbig-Haro jet".…
Microplasma jets are commonly used to treat samples in ambient air atmosphere. The effect of admixing air into the effluent may severely affect the composition of the emerging species. Here, the effluent of a He/O2 microplasma jet has been…
Vapor bubbles generated by long-pulsed laser often have complex non-spherical shapes that reflect some characteristics (e.g., direction, width) of the laser beam. The transition between two commonly observed shapes - namely, a rounded…
Fast data generation based on Machine Learning has become a major research topic in particle physics. This is mainly because the Monte Carlo simulation approach is computationally challenging for future colliders, which will have a…
