Synthetic paracrine signaling of colloids drives self-assembly limit cycles
Tim E. Veenstra, René van Roij, Pepijn G. Moerman +1
Developing synthetic materials that exhibit life-like behavior, such as internally driven cycles, remains a central challenge in active matter. Here, we introduce a minimal colloid…
Multispecific DNA-Coatings for Self-Assembly
T. C. M. Stevens, A. van der Sluis, I. K. Voets +1
DNA-coated particles are promising as building blocks for functional and finite-sized assemblies because they can be programmed with orthogonal interactions owing to the sequence-s…
A simulation that recapitulates the dynamics of PER-directed colloidal assembly
Cheng-Hung Chou, Pepijn G. Moerman, Sikao Guo +4
The self-assembly of DNA-coated colloids controlled by enzymatic reactions has the potential to enable the formation of materials with hierarchical organization and switchable conf…
A DNA-encoded recipe to direct multi-stage colloidal assembly
Pepijn G. Moerman, Chenghung Chou, Thomas E. Videbæk +2
In equilibrium self-assembly, microscopic building blocks spontaneously self-organize into stable structures as dictated by their interaction potentials, which limits the accessibl…
Learning dynamical behaviors in physical systems
Rituparno Mandal, Rosalind Huang, Michel Fruchart +4
Physical learning is an emerging paradigm in science and engineering whereby (meta)materials acquire desired macroscopic behaviors by exposure to examples. So far, it has been appl…
A simple method to reprogram the binding specificity of DNA-coated colloids that crystallize
Pepijn G. Moerman, Huang Fang, Thomas E. Videbæk +2
DNA-coated colloids can crystallize into a multitude of lattices, ranging from face-centered cubic to diamond and thereby contribute to our understanding of crystallization and ope…
Conformations and diffusion of flexibly linked colloidal chains
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Loes P. P. Huijnen +6
For biologically relevant macromolecules such as intrinsically disordered proteins, internal degrees of freedom that allow for shape changes have a large influence on both the moti…
Flexibility-induced effects in the Brownian motion of colloidal trimers
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Nathalie E. G. Ligthart +5
Shape changes resulting from segmental flexibility are ubiquitous in molecular and biological systems, and are expected to affect both the diffusive motion and (biological) functio…
Predator-Prey Interactions between Droplets Driven by Nonreciprocal Oil Exchange
Caleb H. Meredith, Pepijn G. Moerman, Jan Groenewold +4
Chemotactic interactions are ubiquitous in nature and can lead to nonreciprocal and complex emergent behavior in multibody systems. Here we show how chemotactic signaling between m…
Tunable active rotational diffusion in swimming droplets
Adrien Izzet, Pepijn Moerman, Jan Groenewold +2
Here we characterize the motility of athermal swimming droplets within the framework of active rotational diffusion. Just like active colloids, their trajectories can be modeled wi…
Phoretic Interactions Between Active Droplets
Pepijn G. Moerman, Henrique W. Moyses, Ernest B. van der Wee +5
Concentration gradients play a critical role in embryogenesis, bacterial locomotion, as well as the motility of active particles. Particles develop concentration profiles around th…
