Swimmers at Interfaces Enhance Interfacial Transport
Jiayi Deng, Mehdi Molaei, Nicholas G. Chisholm +1
The behavior of fluid interfaces far from equilibrium plays central roles in nature and in industry. Active swimmers trapped at interfaces can alter transport at fluid boundaries w…
Motor crosslinking augments elasticity in active nematics
Steven A. Redford, Jonathan Colen, Jordan L. Shivers +8
In active materials, uncoordinated internal stresses lead to emergent long-range flows. An understanding of how the behavior of active materials depends on mesoscopic (hydrodynamic…
Measuring response functions of active materials from data
Mehdi Molaei, Steven A. Redford, Wen-hung Chou +4
From flocks of birds to biomolecular assemblies, systems in which many individual components independently consume energy to perform mechanical work exhibit a wide array of strikin…
Experimental observations of fractal landscape dynamics in a dense emulsion
Clary Rodriguez-Cruz, Mehdi Molaei, Amruthesh Thirumalaiswamy +6
Many soft and biological materials display so-called 'soft glassy' dynamics; their constituents undergo anomalous random motions and complex cooperative rearrangements. A recent si…
Interfacial flow around a pusher bacterium
Jiayi Deng, Mehdi Molaei, Nicholas G. Chisholm +1
Motile bacteria play essential roles in biology that rely on their dynamic behaviors, including their ability to navigate, interact, and self-organize. However, bacteria dynamics o…
Probing lipid membrane bending mechanics using gold nanorod tracking
Mehdi Molaei, Sreeja Kutti Kandy, Zachary T. Graber +3
Lipid bilayer membranes undergo rapid bending undulations with wavelengths from tens of nanometers to tens of microns due to thermal fluctuations. Here, we probe such undulations a…
