Twist-Stretch Elasticity of DNA
C. S. O'Hern, Randall D. Kamien, T. C. Lubensky +1
The symmetries of the DNA double helix require a new term in its linear response to stress: the coupling between twist and stretch. Recent experiments with torsionally-constrained…
Direct Determination of DNA Twist-Stretch Coupling
Randall D. Kamien, Tom C. Lubensky, Philip Nelson +1
The symmetries of the DNA double helix require a new term in its linear response to stress: the coupling between twist and stretch. Recent experiments with torsionally-constrained…
Spontaneous Expulsion of Giant Lipid Vesicles Induced by Laser Tweezers
Roy Bar-Ziv, J. David Moroz, Elisha Moses +1
Irradiation of a giant unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicle with a focused laser spot leads to a tense pressurized state which persists indefinitely after laser shutoff. If the vesicl…
