Voltage dynamics of spherical membranes from single ion channel currents
Sirui Ning, Joshua B. Fernandes, Karthik Shekhar +1
Ion channels and pumps drive ion-selective currents through cell membranes at localized sites, yet a cell's electrical state is routinely summarized by a single transmembrane volta…
Provable Quantum Speedups for Reaction-Rate Estimation in High-Dimensional Fokker-Planck Dynamics
Tyler Kharazi, Ahmad M. Alkadri, Kranthi K. Mandadapu +1
The Fokker-Planck equation models rare events across sciences, but blue{direct solution of the PDE is intractable for classical computers due to } its high-dimensional nature. Clas…
Interfacial mass transfer resistance at fluid-fluid interfaces
Hyeongjoo Row, Brandon J. Wallace, Joshua B. Fernandes +2
Complex chemistry in nano- and microscale compartments is often governed by how quickly reagents transit a fluid-fluid interface. Mass transport across interfaces is commonly model…
Thickness effects in the electromechanical stability of charged biological membranes
Sirui Ning, Yannick A. D. Omar, Karthik Shekhar +1
Understanding how electric fields destabilize biological membranes is important for electroporation-based technologies and bioelectronic interfaces. However, theoretical descriptio…
Direct measurement of the Orderphobic Effect
O. D. Lunn, J. G. Downs, K. K. Mandadapu +2
Fluctuation-induced forces, such as the Critical Casimir Effect (CCE), are fundamental mechanisms driving organization and self-assembly near second-order phase transitions. The ex…
Return point memory in knitted fabrics
Elizabeth J. Dresselhaus, Sonja Hellebrand, Rajyasri Roy +2
The tunable mechanical response of knitted fabrics underpins applications ranging from soft robotics and artificial muscles to morphing electromagnetic field sensors. Elasticity in…
