The role of confined water in the emergence of electrostatic strong coupling as revealed by nanoseparated charged lipid layers
Swen Helstroffer, Ludovic Gardré, Giovanna Fragneto +7
This study investigates the interplay between Strong Coupling (SC) attraction and hydration repulsion in nanoconfined water between like-charged phospholipid layers. It challenges…
Dielectric permittivity of water confined in stacks of charged lipid layers: extracting profiles from molecular dynamics simulations using a modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation
Ludovic Gardré, Swen Helstroffer, Pierre Muller +4
Most organic and inorganic surfaces (e.g., glass, nucleic acids or lipid membranes) become charged in aqueous solutions. The resulting ionic distribution induces effective interact…
Perturbing the catenoid: stability and mechanical properties of non-axisymmetric minimal surfaces
Friedrich Walzel, Alice Requier, Kevin Boschi +6
Minimal surface problems arise naturally in many soft matter systems whose free energies are dominated by surface or interface energies. Of particular interest are the shapes, stab…
Counter-rotation of magnetic beads in spinning fields
Jean Farago, Thierry Charitat, Alexandre Bigot +2
A magnetized bead in a magnetic field seeks to minimize its magnetic free energy by aligning its magnetic moment with the field direction and by moving towards the maximum of the f…
Attractive Interaction between Fully Charged Lipid Bilayers in a Strongly-Confined Geometry
Tetiana Mukhina, Arnaud Hemmerle, Valeria Rondelli +4
We investigate the interaction between highly charged lipid bilayers in the presence of monovalent counterions. Neutron and X-ray reflectivity experiments show that the water layer…
The role of shape disorder in the collective behaviour of aligned fibrous matter
Salvatore Salamone, Nava Schulmann, Olivier Benzerara +3
We study the compression of bundles of aligned macroscopic fibers with intrinsic shape disorder, as found in human hair and in many other natural and man-made systems. We show by a…
