Rigidity percolation in random 3D rod systems
Samuel Heroy, Dane Taylor, Feng Shi +2
In composite materials composed of soft polymer matrix and stiff, high-aspect-ratio particles, the composite undergoes a transition in mechanical strength when the inclusion phase…
Existence and stability of kayaking orbits for nematic liquid crystals in simple shear flow
David Chillingworth, M. Gregory Forest, Reiner Lauterbach +1
We use geometric methods of equivariant dynamical systems to address a long-standing open problem in the theory of nematic liquid crystals, namely a proof of the existence and asym…
Measurement Error Correction in Particle Tracking Microrheology
Yun Ling, Martin Lysy, Ian Seim +4
In diverse biological applications, particle tracking of passive microscopic species has become the experimental measurement of choice -- when either the materials are of limited v…
Limited processivity of single motors improves overall transport flux of self-assembled motor-cargo complexes
Keshav B. Patel, Shengtan Mao, M. Gregory Forest +2
Single kinesin molecular motors can processively move along a microtubule (MT) a few micrometers on average before dissociating. However, cellular length scales over which transpor…
Evidence that self-similar microrheology of highly entangled polymeric solutions scales robustly with, and is tunable by, polymer concentration
Ian Seim, Jeremy A. Cribb, Jay M. Newby +4
We report observations of a remarkable scaling behavior with respect to concentration in the passive microbead rheology of two highly entangled polymeric solutions, polyethylene ox…
Transient crosslinking kinetics optimize gene cluster interactions
Benjamin Walker, Dane Taylor, Josh Lawrimore +4
Our understanding of how chromosomes structurally organize and dynamically interact has been revolutionized through the lens of long-chain polymer physics. Major protein contributo…
