Evaporation-Induced Pattern Formation and Wetting in Active Microtubule-Kinesin Droplets
Vahid Nasirimarekani, Mehrana R. Nejad, Olinka Ramírez-Soto +4
Active networks composed of biopolymers and motor proteins provide versatile biomimetic systems that have advanced active matter physics and deepened our understanding of cytoskele…
Flat Cell Imaging
Vahid Nasirimarekani, Zuzana Ditte, Eberhard Bodenschatz
Recent advances in optical technology have significantly enhanced the resolution of imaging of living cells, achieving nanometer-scale precision. However, the crowded three-dimensi…
Phase separation bursting and symmetry breaking inside an evaporating droplet; formation of a flower-like pattern
Vahid Nasirimarekani
Pattern formation inside a liquid phase is a phenomenon involved in many different aspects of life on our planet. The droplet form of a liquid that evaporates can reveal patterns t…
Liquid-liquid phase separation at the interface of an evaporating droplet; formation of a regular lattice pattern
Vahid Nasirimarekani
Evaporation alters the molecular interactions and leads to phase separation within the evaporating liquid. The question of whether evaporation could lead to specific phase separati…
