Thickness of epithelia on wavy substrates: measurements and continuous models

Nicolas Harmand, Julien Dervaux, Christophe Poulard +1

We measured the thickness of MDCK epithelia grown on substrates with a sinusoidal profile. We show that while at long wavelength the profile of the epithelium follows that of the s…

Phase Behavior of Thermo-Responsive Nanoplatelets

Imane Boucenna, Florent Carn, Ahmed Mourchid

Nanoplatelets open up a wide range of possibilities for building materials with novel properties linked to their shape anisotropy. A challenge consists of controlling dynamically t…

Sliding of liquid droplets on thin viscoelastic soft layers

Menghua Zhao, Julien Dervaux, Tetsuharu Narita +3

Soft substrates are deformed by liquid-vapor surface tension upon contact with liquid droplets, forming the well-known wetting ridge. This ridge dynamically propagates with the mov…

Irreversible swap algorithms for soft sphere glasses

Yoshihiko Nishikawa, Federico Ghimenti, Ludovic Berthier +1

We extend to soft repulsive interaction potentials a recently proposed irreversible swap algorithm originally designed for polydisperse hard spheres. The original algorithm perform…

Mixing order asymmetry in nanoparticle-polymer complexation and precipitation revealed by isothermal titration calorimetry

Letícia Vitorazi, Jean-François Berret

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in complex coacervation, driven by concerted efforts to offer novel experimental and theoretical insights into electrostatic char…

Scale-free flocking and giant fluctuations in epithelial active solids

Yuan Shen, Jérémy O'Byrne, Andreas Schoenit +4

The collective motion of epithelial cells is a fundamental biological process which plays a significant role in embryogenesis, wound healing and tumor metastasis. While it has been…
