Riding the Wave: Polymers in Time-dependent Nonequilibrium Baths
Bhavesh Valecha, Jens-Uwe Sommer, Abhinav Sharma
The paper investigates how ideal Rouse polymers immersed in a spatially and temporally varying self‑propulsion wave field exhibit directed drift, with long polymers and ring or sta…
Active Transport of Cargo-Carrying and Interconnected Chiral Particles
Bhavesh Valecha, Hossein Vahid, Pietro Luigi Muzzeddu +2
Directed motion up a concentration gradient is crucial for the survival and maintenance of numerous biological systems, such as sperms moving towards an egg during fertilization or…
Enhanced Efficiency in Shear-Loaded Brownian Gyrators
Iman Abdoli, Abhinav Sharma, Hartmut Löwen
A Brownian gyrator is a system in which a particle experiences thermal noise from two distinct heat baths. This nonequilibrium setup inherently generates a nonzero torque, leading…
Transport of molecules via polymerization in chemical gradients
Shashank Ravichandir, Bhavesh Valecha, Pietro Luigi Muzzeddu +2
The transport of molecules for chemical reactions is critically important in various cellular biological processes. Despite thermal diffusion being prevalent in many biochemical pr…
