We generate compact localized states (CLSs) in an electrical diamond lattice, comprised of only capacitors and inductors, via local driving near its flat-band frequency. We compare experimental results to numerical simulations...
When a ferrofluid drop is trapped in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell and subjected to a vertical magnetic field, a fingering instability results in the droplet evolving into a complex branched structure. This fingering instability...

Using a combination of theory, experiment, and simulation, we revisit the dynamics of two coupled metronomes on a moving platform. Our experiments show that the platform's motion is damped by a dry friction force of Coulomb...
An impressive demonstration of magnetism can be accomplished by placing some metal paperclips on a horizontal surface and then applying a vertical magnetic field. As the field is increased, the paperclips suddenly jump up, do a...
We study experimentally and numerically the existence and stability properties of discrete breathers in a periodic nonlinear electric line. The electric line is composed of single cell nodes, containing a varactor diode and an...
