Surfaces with filamentous structures are ubiquitous in nature on many different scales, ranging from forests to micrometer-sized cilia in organs. Hairy surfaces are elastic and porous, and it is not fully understood how they modify…

When a cold atomic gas is illuminated by a quasi-resonant laser beam, light-induced dipole-dipole correlations make the scattering of light a cooperative process. Once a fluid description is adopted for the atoms, many scattering properties…
