Patchy landscapes promote stability of small groups
Gianni Jacucci, Davide Breoni, Sandrine Heijnen +5
Group formation and coordination are fundamental characteristics of living systems, essential for performing tasks and ensuring survival. Interactions between individuals play a ke…
Designing thermoplasmonic polymersomes for photothermal therapy
Valentino Barbieri, Javier González-Colsa, Diana Matias +6
Polymersomes, vesicles self-assembled from amphiphilic polymers, are promising nanocarriers for the targeted intracellular delivery of therapeutics. Integrating inorganic light-abs…
Optimal face-to-face coupling for fast self-folding kirigami
Maks Pecnik Bambic, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Benjamin J. Walker +4
Kirigami-inspired designs can enable self-folding three-dimensional materials from flat, two-dimensional sheets. Hierarchical designs of connected levels increase the diversity of…
Light, Matter, Action: Shining light on active matter
Marcel Rey, Giovanni Volpe, Giorgio Volpe
Light carries energy and momentum. It can therefore alter the motion of objects from atomic to astronomical scales. Being widely available, readily controllable and broadly biocomp…
The role of disorder in the motion of chiral swimmers in the presence of obstacles
Danne M. van Roon, Giorgio Volpe, Margarida M. Telo da Gama +1
The presence of obstacles is intuitively expected to hinder the diffusive transport of micro-swimmers. However, for chiral micro-swimmers, a low density of obstacles near a surface…
Steering self-organisation through confinement
Nuno A. M. Araújo, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen, Thomas Barois +26
Self-organisation is the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal structures and patterns from the interaction of smaller individual units. Examples are found across many scales in…
