Mechanical response of active gels
T. B. Liverpool, M. C. Marchetti, J. -F. Joanny +1
We study a model of an active gel of cross-linked semiflexible filaments with additional active linkers such as myosin II clusters. We show that the coupling of the elasticity of t…
Complex Spontaneous Flows and Concentration Banding in Active Polar Films
Luca Giomi, M. Cristina Marchetti, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We study the dynamical properties of active polar liquid crystalline films. Like active nematic films, active polar films undergo a dynamical transitions to spontaneously flowing s…
Short-time inertial response of viscoelastic fluids measured with Brownian motion and with active probes
M. Atakhorrami, D. Mizuno, G. H. Koenderink +3
We have directly observed short-time stress propagation in viscoelastic fluids using two optically trapped particles and a fast interferometric particle-tracking technique. We have…
