Buckling of thermalized elastic sheets
Ali Morshedifard, Miguel Ruiz-Garcia, Mohammad Javad Abdolhosseini Qomi +1
Steady progress in the miniaturization of structures and devices has reached a scale where thermal fluctuations become relevant and it is thus important to understand how such fluc…
Finite Temperature Phase Behavior of Viral Capsids as Oriented Particle Shells
Amit Rajnarayan Singh, Andrej Košmrlj, Robijn F. Bruinsma
A general phase-plot is proposed for discrete particle shells that allows for thermal fluctuations of the shell geometry and of the inter-particle connectivities. The phase plot co…
Non-uniform growth and surface friction determine bacterial biofilm morphology on soft substrates
Chenyi Fei, Sheng Mao, Jing Yan +5
During development, organisms acquire three-dimensional shapes with important physiological consequences. While the basic mechanisms underlying morphogenesis are known in eukaryote…
Phase behavior and morphology of multicomponent liquid mixtures
Sheng Mao, Derek Kuldinow, Mikko P. Haataja +1
Multicomponent systems are ubiquitous in nature and industry. While the physics of few-component liquid mixtures (i.e., binary and ternary ones) is well-understood and routinely ta…
