We offer a general motivation for the several varieties of packing problems that are discussed in this volume, and introduce some of the key contributors to the long history of the subject. The rapid progress made in recent years has been driven …

Soap bubbles are deformable, but effectively (in many circumstances) incompressible objects. Their shape, when they are packed together in a foam, is determined, to within a good approximation, by the minimisation of surface energy and potential energy (usually due to gravity). We …

A line of spheres or bubbles, confined in a cylindrically symmetric harmonic potential, buckles under axial compression. Increasing compression results in a sequence of initially planar, and eventually non-planar, structures. We present a catalogue of these, drawing on both experiments and computer …

Abstract 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, drops in emulsions, biological cells, etc. The experiments are …

A line of contacting hard spheres, placed in a transverse confining potential, buckles under compression or when tilted away from the horizontal, once a critical tilt angle is exceeded. This interesting nonlinear problem is enriched by the combined application of both compression …

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, Phys.Rev. E 98, 043303 (2018)].Here we extend these initial results …

Ions that are trapped in two dimensions and are subject to a harmonic confining potential have widely varying stationary states that exhibit various asymptotic forms and bifurcations. We present a ‘birds-eye’ view of these structures for N = 2 to 5 ions, …

The equilibrium configurations of N Coulomb charges confined by a harmonic potential in two dimensions are found to exhibit a wide variety of patterns that are pleasing to the eye, when adjacent points are joined up. We present a selection of these …
