Static adhesion hysteresis in elastic structures
Edvin Memet, Feodor Hilitski, Zvonimir Dogic +1
Adhesive interactions between elastic structures such as graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes, and microtubules have been shown to exhibit hysteresis due to irrecoverable energy loss…

Random sequential adsorption of spheres on a cylinder
Edvin Memet, Nabila Tanjeem, Charlie Greboval +2
Inspired by observations of beads packed on a thin string in such systems as sea-grapes and dental plaque, we study the random sequential adsorption of spheres on a cylinder. We de…

Microtubules soften due to cross-sectional flattening
Edvin Memet, Feodor Hilitski, Margaret A Morris +3
We use optical trapping to continuously bend an isolated microtubule while simultaneously measuring the applied force and the resulting filament strain, thus allowing us to determi…
