Tracking microscopic irreversibility during yielding of a colloidal fractal gel with Rheo-Echo-XPCS
William Chèvremont, Julien Bauland, Emmeline Brassac +4
Understanding how microscopic structural dynamics relate to macroscopic mechanical response during yielding remains a central challenge in soft matter physics. Here, we introduce r…
Coherent X-rays reveal anomalous molecular diffusion and cage effects in crowded protein solutions
Anita Girelli, Maddalena Bin, Mariia Filianina +38
Understanding protein motion within the cell is crucial for predicting reaction rates and macromolecular transport in the cytoplasm. A key question is how crowded environments affe…
LAOStrain response of carbon black-polymer hydrogels: insights from rheo-TRUSAXS and rheo-electric experiment
Gauthier Legrand, Guilhem P. Baeza, William Chèvremont +2
Colloid-polymer hydrogels are encountered in various applications, from flow batteries to drug delivery. Here, we investigate hydrogels composed of hydrophobic colloidal soot parti…
Softness and Hydrodynamic Interactions Regulate Lipoprotein Transport in Crowded Yolk Environments
Nimmi Das Anthuparambil, Michelle Dargasz, Sonja Timmermann +27
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) serve as nutrient reservoirs in egg yolk for embryonic development and as promising drug carriers. Both roles critically depend on their mobility in…
