The mechanical response of fire ant rafts
Robert J. Wagner, Samuel Lamont, Zachary T. White +1
Fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) cohesively aggregate via the formation of voluntary ant-to-ant attachments when under confinement or exposed to water. Once formed, these aggregation…
Force-dependent bond dissociation explains the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers
Zhaoqiang Song, Tong Shen, Franck J. Vernerey +1
We investigate the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers by conducting a tear test. Based on the relationship between the frac-ture energy and the thickness of vitrimer films, we, f…
Collective treadmilling in fire ant rafts permits sustained protrusion growth
Robert J. Wagner, Kristen Such, Ethan Hobbs +1
Condensed active matter is exemplary for its capacity to morph and exhibit internal flows despite remaining cohered. To facilitate understanding of this ability, we investigate the…
Effects of soft interactions and bound mobility on diffusion in crowded environments: a model of sticky and slippery obstacles
Michael W. Stefferson, Samantha A. Norris, Franck J. Vernerey +2
Crowded environments modify the diffusion of macromolecules, generally slowing their movement and inducing transient anomalous subdiffusion. The presence of obstacles also modifies…
