Designing highly efficient lock-and-key interactions in anisotropic active particles
Solenn Riedel, Ludwig A. Hoffmann, Luca Giomi +1
Cluster formation of microscopic swimmers is key to the formation of biofilms and colonies, efficient motion and nutrient uptake, but, in the absence of other interactions, require…
Soft and stiff normal modes in floppy colloidal square lattices
Julio Melio, Silke E. Henkes, Daniela J. Kraft
Floppy microscale spring networks are widely studied in theory and simulations, but no well-controlled experimental system currently exists. Here, we show that square lattices cons…
Optimality in superselective surface binding by multivalent DNA nanostars
Christine Linne, Eva Heemskerk, Jos Zwanikken +2
Weak multivalent interactions govern a large variety of biological processes like cell-cell adhesion and virus-host interactions. These systems distinguish sharply between surfaces…
Three-Body Interactions of Lipid Membrane-Deforming Colloidal Spheres
Ali Azadbakht, Billie Meadowcroft, Juraj Májek +2
Many cell functions require a concerted effort from multiple membrane proteins, for example, for signaling, cell division, and endocytosis. One contribution to their successful sel…
Wrapping pathways of anisotropic dumbbell particles by giant unilamellar vesicles
Ali Azadbakht, Billie Meadowcroft, Thijs Varkevisser +2
Endocytosis is a key cellular process involved in the uptake of nutrients, pathogens or the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Most studies have focused on spherical objects, where…
Flexible Colloidal Molecules with Directional Bonds and Controlled Flexibility
Yogesh Shelke, Fabrizio Camerin, Susana Marín-Aguilar +3
Colloidal molecules are ideal model systems for mimicking real molecules and can serve as versatile building blocks for the bottom-up self-assembly of flexible and smart materials.…
