Glandular Trichome Rupture in Tomato Plants is an Ultra-Fast & Sensitive Defense Mechanism Against Insects
Jared Popowski, Lucas Warma, Alicia Abarca Cifuentes +2
Trichomes, specialized hair-like structures on the surfaces of many plants, play a crucial role in defense against herbivorous insects. We investigated the biomechanics of type VI…
ActiveCheerios: 3D-Printed Marangoni-Driven Active Particles at an Interface
Jackson K. Wilt, Nico Schramma, Jan-Willem Bottermans +1
Marangoni surfers are simple, cost-effective tabletop experiments that, despite their simplicity, exhibit rich dynamics and collective behaviors driven by physicochemical mechanism…
Bursting bubble in an elasto-viscoplastic medium
A. G. Balasubramanian, V. Sanjay, M. Jalaal +2
A gas bubble sitting at a liquid-gas interface can burst following the rupture of the thin liquid film separating it from the ambient, owing to the large surface energy of the resu…
Fragmentation and aggregation of cyanobacterial colonies
Yuri Z. Sinzato, Robert Uittenbogaard, Petra M. Visser +2
Fluid flow has a major effect on the aggregation and fragmentation of bacterial colonies. Yet, a generic framework to understand and predict how hydrodynamics affects colony size r…
Morphodynamics of chloroplast network control light-avoidance response in the non-motile dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula
Nico Schramma, Gloria Casas Canales, Maziyar Jalaal
Photosynthetic algae play a significant role in oceanic carbon capture. Their performance, however, is constantly challenged by fluctuations in environmental light conditions. Here…
Optimal shape design of printing nozzles for extrusion-based additive manufacturing
Tomas Schuller, Maziyar Jalaal, Paola Fanzio +1
The optimal design seeks the best possible solution(s) for a mechanical structure, device, or system, satisfying a series of requirements and leading to the best performance. In th…
