Soft elasticity of RNA gels and negative Poisson ratio
Amir Ahsan, Joseph Rudnick, Robijn Bruinsma
We propose a model for the elastic properties of RNA gels. The model predicts anomalous elastic properties in the form of a negative Poisson ratio and shape instabilities. The anom…

Elasticity Theory and Shape Transitions of Viral Shells
T. T. Nguyen, R. F. Bruinsma, W. M. Gelbart
Recently, continuum elasticity theory has been applied to explain the shape transition of icosahedral viral capsids - single-protein-thick crystalline shells - from spherical to bu…
