Vesiculation mechanisms mediated by anisotropic proteins

Ke Xiao, Chen-Xu Wu, Rui Ma

Endocytosis is an essential biological process for the trafficking of macromolecules (cargo) and membrane proteins in cells. In yeast cells, this involves the invagination of a tub…

Dynamics of droplets driven by electrowetting

Ke Xiao, Chen-Xu Wu

Even though electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is a useful strategy in a wide array of biological and engineering processes with numerous droplet-manipulation applications, there…

How does an external electric field trigger the Cassie-Baxter-Wenzel wetting transition on a textured surface?

Ke Xiao, Xi Chen, Chen-Xu Wu

Understanding the critical condition and mechanism of the droplet wetting transition between Cassie-Baxter state and Wenzel state triggered by an external electric field is of cons…

Electrostatics in a crooked nanochannel in a newly developed curvilinear coordinate system

Xi Chen, Ke Xiao, Rui Ma +2

Both biological and artificial nanochannels in crooked shape exhibit unusual transportational characteristics, bringing about a challenge to the traditional theoretical analysis of…

Critical condition for electrowetting-induced detachment of a droplet from a curved surface

Ke Xiao, Chen-Xu Wu

Based on energy conservation, we derive a critical condition theoretically for electrowettinginduced droplet detachment from a hydrophobic curved surface. Phase diagrams are constr…

Formation of a fast "lane" for positional transition in a microparticle-suspended nematic liquid crystal cell

Ke Xiao, Xi Chen, Xuezheng Cao +1

In this paper, based on the numerical calculation of total energy utilizing the Green's function method, we found that the external electric field applied to a microparticle-suspen…
