Universal law for the dispersal of motile microorganisms in porous media
T. Pietrangeli, R. Foffi, R. Stocker +3
Dispersal is essential to the plethora of motile microorganisms living in porous environments, yet how it relates to movement patterns and pore space structure remains largely unkn…
Slower swimming promotes chemotactic encounters between bacteria and small phytoplankton
Riccardo Foffi, Douglas R. Brumley, François Peaudecerf +2
Chemotaxis enables marine bacteria to increase encounters with phytoplankton cells by reducing their search times, provided that bacteria detect noisy chemical gradients around phy…
Identification of local structures in water from supercooled to ambient conditions
Riccardo Foffi, Francesco Sciortino
Studies of water thermodynamics have long been tied to the identification of two distinct families of local structures, whose competition could explain the origin of the many therm…
Building up DNA, bit by bit: a simple description of chain assembly
R. Foffi, F. Sciortino, J. M. Tavares +1
We simulate the assembly of DNA copolymers from two types of short duplexes (short double strands with a single-stranded overhang at each end), as described by the oxDNA model. We…
Structure of high-pressure supercooled and glassy water
Riccardo Foffi, Francesco Sciortino
We numerically investigate the metastable equilibrium structure of deep supercooled and glassy water under pressure, covering the range of densities corresponding to the experiment…
Structural and topological changes across the liquid-liquid transition in water
Riccardo Foffi, John Russo, Francesco Sciortino
It has recently been shown that the TIP4P/Ice model of water can be studied numerically in metastable equilibrium at and below its liquid-liquid critical temperature. We report her…
