Statistics and morphologies of stable droplets in scalar active fluids
Kathrin Hertäg, Joshua F. Robinson, Thomas Speck
Conventional phase segregation is controlled by a positive interfacial tension, which implies that the system relaxes towards a state in which the interfacial area (or length) is m…
Surface Material Dependence in Powder Triboelectric Charging
Tom F. O'Hara, Ellen Player, Graham Ackroyd +2
Triboelectric charging of granular materials against container walls is a critical yet poorly understood phenomenon affecting many industrial powder handling processes. Charge accu…
Learning the bulk and interfacial physics of liquid-liquid phase separation with neural density functionals
Silas Robitschko, Florian Sammüller, Matthias Schmidt +1
We use simulation-based supervised machine learning and classical density functional theory to investigate bulk and interfacial phenomena associated with phase coexistence in binar…
Faraday Cup Measurements of Triboelectrically Charged Granular Material: A Modular Interpretation Methodology
Tom F. O'Hara, David P. Reid, Gregory L. Marsden +1
The triboelectric charging of granular materials remains a poorly understood phenomenon with a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, from volcanic lightning to phar…
Metadensity functional theory for classical fluids: Extracting the pair potential
Stefanie M. Kampa, Florian Sammüller, Matthias Schmidt +1
The excess free energy functional of classical density functional theory depends upon the type of fluid model, specifically on the choice of (pair) potential, is unknown in general…
Colloidoscope: Detecting Dense Colloids in 3d with Deep Learning
Abdelwahab Kawafi, Lars Kürten, Levke Ortlieb +4
Colloidoscope is a deep learning pipeline employing a 3D residual Unet architecture, designed to enhance the tracking of dense colloidal suspensions through confocal microscopy. Th…
Neural density functional theory of liquid-gas phase coexistence
Florian Sammüller, Matthias Schmidt, Robert Evans
We use supervised machine learning together with the concepts of classical density functional theory to investigate the effects of interparticle attraction on the pair structure, t…
Competing aggregation and iso-density equilibrium lead to band pattern formation in density gradients
Felix Maurer, Camila Romero, Nikolas Lerch +4
Centrifugation of biological matter in density gradient solutions is a standard method for separating cell types or components. It is also used to separate red blood cells (RBCs) b…
Universal limiting behaviour of reaction-diffusion systems with conservation laws
Joshua F. Robinson, Thomas Machon, Thomas Speck
Making sense of complex inhomogeneous systems composed of many interacting species is a grand challenge that pervades basically all natural sciences. Phase separation and pattern f…
Thermodynamics of active matter: Tracking dissipation across scales
Robin Bebon, Joshua F. Robinson, Thomas Speck
The concept of entropy has been pivotal in the formulation of thermodynamics. For systems driven away from thermal equilibrium, a comparable role is played by entropy production an…
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics in driven macroscopic self-assembly
Stuart J. Thomson, Jack-William Barotta, Daniel M. Harris
Equilibrium statistical mechanics provides a robust framework for characterizing phase transitions in systems whose microsopic dynamics are time-reversible. Efforts to develop and…
Colloidal Hard Spheres: Triumphs, Challenges and Mysteries
C. Patrick Royall, Patrick Charbonneau, Marjolein Dijkstra +4
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static an…
Structural signatures of ultrastability in a deposited glassformer
Fabio Leoni, Fausto Martelli, C. Patrick Royall +1
Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics si…
Active Brownian Particles in Random and Porous Environments
Fergus J. Moore, John Russo Tanniemola B. Liverpool, C. Patrick Royall
The transport of active particles may occur in complex environments, in which it emerges from the interplay between the mobility of the active components and the quenched disorder…
Stability of interlocked self-propelled dumbbell clusters
Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Abraham Maulean-Amieva, C. Patrick Royall +1
Combining experimental observations of Quincke roller clusters with computer simulations and a stability analysis, we explore the formation and stability of two interlocked self-pr…
Exact results for sheared polar active suspensions with variable liquid crystalline order
Aurore Loisy, Anthony P. Thompson, Jens Eggers +1
We consider a confined sheared active polar liquid crystal with a uniform orientation and study the effect of variations in the magnitude of polarization. Restricting our analysis…
Understanding the physics of hydrophobic solvation
Mary K. Coe, Robert Evans, Nigel B. Wilding
Simulations of water near extended hydrophobic spherical solutes have revealed the presence of a region of depleted density and accompanying enhanced density fluctuations.The physi…
Many-body correlations are non-negligible in both fragile and strong glassformers
Chengjie Luo, Joshua F. Robinson, Ilian Pihlajamaa +3
It is widely believed that the emergence of slow glassy dynamics is encoded in a material's microstructure. First-principles theory [mode-coupling theory (MCT)] is able to predict…
Axisymmetric Ridges and Circumferential Buckling of Indented Shells of Revolution
Matteo Taffetani, Martin G. Walker
When poking a thin shell-like structure, like a plastic water bottle, experience shows that an initial axisymmetric dimple forms around the indentation point. The ridge of this dim…
The rheology of confined colloidal hard discs
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Hartmut Löwen +2
Colloids may be treated as `big atoms' so that they are good models for atomic and molecular systems. Colloidal hard disks are therefore good models for 2d materials and although t…
Direct Imaging of Contacts and Forces in Colloidal Gels
Jun Dong, Francesco Turci, Robert L. Jack +2
Colloidal dispersions are prized as model systems to understand basic properties of materials, and are central to a wide range of industries from cosmetics to foods to agrichemical…
Density depletion and enhanced fluctuations in water near hydrophobic solutes: identifying the underlying physics
Mary K. Coe, Robert Evans, Nigel B. Wilding
We investigate the origin of the density depletion and enhanced density fluctuations that occur in water in the vicinity of an extended hydrophobic solute. We argue that both pheno…
Fluctuations of cell geometry and their non-equilibrium thermodynamics in living epithelial tissue
Mark Olenik, Jake Turley, Stephen Cross +4
We measure different contributions to entropy production in a living functional epithelial tissue. We do this by extracting the functional dynamics of development while at the same…
