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…
