Self-organization and shape change by active polarization in nematic droplets
Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Pierre Ronceray, Kimberly L. Weirich +1
Active forces occurring within cells can drive crucial biological processes that involve spontaneous organization and shape change, such as cell division. Motivated by recent in vi…
Learning the Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Brownian Movies
F. S. Gnesotto, G. Gradziuk, P. Ronceray +1
Time-lapse microscopy imaging provides direct access to the dynamics of soft and living systems. At mesoscopic scales, such microscopy experiments reveal intrinsic fluctuations, wh…
The range of geometrical frustration in lattice spin models
Pierre Ronceray, Bruno Le Floch
The concept of geometrical frustration in condensed matter physics refers to the fact that a system has a locally preferred structure with an energy density lower than the infinite…
Magic numbers in polymer phase separation -- the importance of being rigid
Bin Xu, Guanhua He, Benjamin G. Weiner +4
Cells possess non-membrane-bound bodies, many of which are now understood as phase-separated condensates. One class of such condensates is composed of two polymer species, where ea…
Learning force fields from stochastic trajectories
Anna Frishman, Pierre Ronceray
When monitoring the dynamics of stochastic systems, such as interacting particles agitated by thermal noise, disentangling deterministic forces from Brownian motion is challenging.…
Fiber plucking by molecular motors yields large emergent contractility in stiff biopolymer networks
Pierre Ronceray, Chase P. Broedersz, Martin Lenz
The mechanical properties of the cell depend crucially on the tension of its cytoskeleton, a biopolymer network that is put under stress by active motor proteins. While the fibrous…
