Toward Task Capable Active Matter: Learning to Avoid Clogging in Confined Collectives via Collisions

Kehinde O. Aina, Ram Avinery, Hui-Shun Kuan +3

Social organisms which construct nests consisting of tunnels and chambers necessarily navigate confined and crowded conditions. Unlike low-density collectives like bird flocks and…

Collision Induced Binding and Transport of Shape Changing Robot Pairs

Akash Vardhan, Ram Avinery, Hosain Bagheri +7

We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. These physical `glider…

Gliders in shape-changing active matter

Akash Vardhan, Ram Avinery, Hridesh Kedia +3

We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing smarticle robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. Borrowing te…

Programming Active Cohesive Granular Matter with Mechanically Induced Phase Changes

Shengkai Li, Bahnisikha Dutta, Sarah Cannon +6

Active matter physics and swarm robotics have provided powerful tools for the study and control of ensembles driven by internal sources. At the macroscale, controlling swarms typic…

Glassy dynamics and memory effects in an intrinsically disordered protein construct

Ian L. Morgan, Ram Avinery, Gil Rahamim +2

Glassy, nonexponential relaxations in globular proteins are typically attributed to conformational behaviors that are missing from intrinsically disordered proteins. Yet, we show t…

Super-resolution SAXS based on PSF engineering and sub-pixel detector translations

Benjamin Gutman, Michael Mrejen, Gil Shabat +3

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique enables convenient nanoscopic characterization for various systems and conditions. Nonetheless, lab-based SAXS systems intrinsically s…

Nanoparticle mobility over a surface as a probe for weak transient disordered peptide-peptide interactions

Indrani Chakraborty, Gil Rahamim, Ram Avinery +2

Weak interactions form the core basis of a vast number of biological processes, in particular, those involving intrinsically disordered proteins. Here, we establish a new technique…

Universal and accessible entropy estimation using a compression algorithm

Ram Avinery, Micha Kornreich, Roy Beck

Entropy and free-energy estimation are key in thermodynamic characterization of simulated systems ranging from spin models through polymers, colloids, protein structure, and drug-d…
