Theory of Elastic Microphase Separation
Yicheng Qiang, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Elastic microphase separation refers to equilibrium patterns that form by phase separation in elastic gels. Recent experiments revealed a continuous phase transition from the homog…
Influence of physical interactions on spatiotemporal patterns
Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Spatiotemporal patterns are often modeled using reaction-diffusion equations, which combine complex reactions between constituents with ideal diffusive motion. Such descriptions ne…
Physical interactions promote Turing patterns
Lucas Menou, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Turing's mechanism is often invoked to explain periodic patterns in nature, although direct experimental support is scarce. Turing patterns form in reaction-diffusion systems when…
Zonal receptor distributions maximize olfactory information
Swati Sen, David Zwicker
The olfactory sense measures the chemical composition of the environment using a diverse array of olfactory receptors. In vertebrates, the olfactory receptors reside in a mucus lay…
