Optimal Translocation of Living \& Active Filaments in Confinement
Marin Vatin, Rosa Sinaasappel, Renske Kamping +3
Active filament translocation through confined spaces is central to processes ranging from DNA transport through nanopores to cytoskeletal dynamics in cell migration. Here, we use…
How Spatially Modulated Activity Reshapes Active Polymer Conformations
Paolo Malgaretti, Emanuele Locatelli
Active polymers are driven out of equilibrium by internal forces and exhibit conformational properties that differ fundamentally from those of passive chains. Here we study how spa…
Geometrical entanglement and alignment regulate self-organization in active ring polymer suspensions
Juan Pablo Miranda, Emanuele Locatelli, Cristian Micheletti +2
We study the emerging self-organization in active ring suspensions, focusing on how the rings' orientational order and geometric entanglement vary with density and spatial confinem…
Active Polymer Behavior in Two Dimensions: A Comparative Analysis of Tangential and Push-Pull Models
Giulia Janzen, Juan Pablo Miranda, José MartÃn-Roca +4
In this work, we compare the structural and dynamic behavior of active filaments in two dimensions using tangential and push-pull models, including a variant with passive end monom…
