This project investigates how bees and hummingbirds efficiently capture nectar using specialized tongues. By studying the physical mechanisms involved, such as fluid dynamics and elasticity, the project aims to develop general models for fluid capture that can inform the design of soft structures for various applicatio…
Capturing fluids at small scales is a challenge that nectarivores have solved by developing various type of specialized tongues, which consist of a complex assembly of flexible structures of small size compared to the capillary length.
Most of the physicochemical mechanisms allowing some of those animals to quickly feed on nectar are not yet fully understood.
This project aims to understand the physical mechanisms underlying the efficient capture of nectar by bees and hummingbirds which results…
