Optimal disk packing of chloroplasts in plant cells
Nico Schramma, Eric R. Weeks, Maziyar Jalaal
Photosynthesis is vital for the survival of entire ecosystems on Earth. While light is fundamental to this process, excessive exposure can be detrimental to plant cells. Chloroplas…
Circle radius distributions determine random close packing density
David J. Meer, Isabela Galoustian, Julio Gabriel de Falco Manuel +1
Circles of a single size can pack together densely in a hexagonal lattice, but adding in size variety disrupts the order of those packings. We conduct simulations which generate de…
Influence of Particle Size Distribution on Random Close Packing
Kenneth W. Desmond, Eric R. Weeks
The densest amorphous packing of rigid particles is known as random close packing. It has long been appreciated that higher densities are achieved by using collections of particles…
