Structural Covariance in the Hard Sphere Fluid
Benjamin M. G. D. Carter, Francesco Turci, Pierre Ronceray +1
We study the joint variability of structural information in a hard sphere fluid biased to avoid crystallisation and form fivefold symmetric geometric motifs. We show that the struc…
Cell contraction induces long-ranged stress stiffening in the extracellular matrix
Yu Long Han, Pierre Ronceray, Guoqiang Xu +5
Animal cells in tissues are supported by biopolymer matrices, which typically exhibit highly nonlinear mechanical properties. While the linear elasticity of the matrix can signific…
Suppression of crystalline fluctuations by competing structures in a supercooled liquid
Pierre Ronceray, Peter Harrowell
We propose a geometrical characterization of amorphous liquid structures that suppress crystallization by competing locally with crystalline order. We introduce for this purpose th…
