Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect

Lucas S. Palacios, Serguei Tchoumakov, Maria Guix +3

Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms o…

Combinatorial entropy behaviour leads to range selective binding in ligand-receptor interactions

Meng Liu, Azzurra Apriceno, Miguel Sipin +6

From viruses to nanoparticles, constructs functionalized with multiple ligands display peculiar binding properties that only arise from multivalent effects. Using statistical mecha…

Spontaneous polarization and locomotion of an active particle with surface-mobile enzymes

Marco De Corato, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Loai K. E. A. Abdelmohsen +2

We examine a mechanism of locomotion of active particles whose surface is uniformly coated with mobile enzymes. The enzymes catalyze a reaction that drives phoretic flows but their…

Controlling the non-linear emission of upconversion nanoparticles to enhance super-resolution imaging performance

Simone De Camillis, Peng Ren, Yueying Cao +5

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibit unique optical properties such as photo-emission stability, large anti-Stokes shift, and long excited-state lifetimes, allowing significa…

Swimming Euglena respond to confinement with a behavioural change enabling effective crawling

Giovanni Noselli, Alfred Beran, Marino Arroyo +1

Some euglenids, a family of aquatic unicellular organisms, can develop highly concerted, large-amplitude peristaltic body deformations. This remarkable behaviour has been known for…

Smart helical structures inspired by the pellicle of euglenids

Giovanni Noselli, Marino Arroyo, Antonio DeSimone

This paper deals with a concept for a reconfigurable structure bio-inspired by the cell wall architecture of euglenids, a family of unicellular protists, and based on the relative…

Graphene promotes axon elongation through local stall of Nerve Growth Factor signaling endosomes

D. Convertino, F. FabbrI, N. Mishra +8

Several works reported increased differentiation of neuronal cells grown on graphene; however, the molecular mechanism driving axon elongation on this material has remained elusive…

Mechanics of axisymmetric sheets of interlocking and slidable rods

D. Riccobelli, G. Noselli, M. Arroyo +1

In this work, we study the mechanics of metamaterial sheets inspired by the pellicle of Euglenids. They are composed of interlocking elastic rods which can freely slide along their…
