Direct Measurement of Lighthill's Energetic Efficiency of a Minimal Magnetic Microswimmer

Carles Calero, José García-Torres, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz +3

The realization of artificial microscopic swimmers able to propel in viscous fluids is an emergent research field of fundamental interest and vast technological applications. For c…

Ice Rule and Emergent Frustration in Particle Ice and Beyond

Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Cristiano Nisoli, Charles Reichhardt +2

Geometric frustration and the ice rule are two concepts that are intimately connected and widespread across condensed matter. The first refers to the inability of a system to satis…

Magnetic assembly and annealing of colloidal lattices and superlattices

Pietro Tierno

The ability to assemble mesoscopic colloidal lattices above a surface is important for fundamental studies related with nucleation and crystallization, but also for a variety of te…

Liquid-crystal enabled electrophoresis: Scenarios for driving and reconfigurable assembling of colloids

S. Hernàndez-Navarro, P. Tierno, J. Ignés-Mullol +1

We demonstrate several examples of driving and steering of colloids when dispersed in nematic liquid crystals. The driving mechanism is based on the principle of nonlinear electrop…

A Tuneable Magnetic Domain Wall Conduit Regulating Nanoparticle Diffusion

Pietro Tierno, Tom H. Johansen, Jose M. Sancho

We demonstrate a general and robust method to confine on a plane strongly diffusing submicrometer particles in water by using size tunable magnetic channels. These virtual conduits…

In silico evidence that protein unfolding is as a precursor of the protein aggregation

Valentino Bianco, Giancarlo Franzese, Ivan Coluzza

We present a computational study on the folding and aggregation of proteins in aqueous environment, as function of its concentration. We show how the increase of the concentration…

Hydrogen bond correlated percolation in a supercooled water monolayer as a hallmark of the critical region

Valentino Bianco, Giancarlo Franzese

Numerical simulations for a number of water models have supported the possibility of a metastable liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) in the deep super-cooled region. Here we consi…
