Nonlinear diffusion and compressive rims in source-driven biopolymer condensates
Avraham Moriel, Howard A. Stone
Many subcellular condensates continuously produce biopolymers. Coupling Flory-Huggins thermodynamics to two-fluid viscoelasticity, we probe the diffusion of such source-driven poly…
Polymer-polymer interdiffusion: effects of entanglements and a polymeric source
Avraham Moriel, Howard A. Stone
Many industrial applications and biological scenarios involve the interdiffusion of two polymeric species. Motivated by biological subcellular source-driven processes, we study pol…
Enucleated incompressible red blood cells in shear flow: theoretical analysis of shape instabilities
Avraham Moriel, Howard A. Stone, Simon Mendez
Red blood cells (RBCs) are essential for oxygen transport, and their remarkable ability to undergo significant deformations during flow is a crucial feature for their physiological…
Experimental evidence for the tail of the nonphononic spectra of glasses
Avraham Moriel, Edan Lerner, Eran Bouchbinder
It is now established that glasses feature low-frequency, nonphononic excitations, in addition to phonons that follow Debye's vibrational density of state (VDoS). Extensive compute…
