Fluctuating chemically active droplets

Guido L. A. Kusters, Noah Ziethen, Michael E. Cates +1

We study size fluctuations of chemically active droplets in the regime of weak reactions and strong phase separation. By combining a thin-interface model for the deterministic drop…

Chemically Active Liquid Bridges Generate Repulsive Forces

Noah Ziethen, Frieder Johannsen, David Zwicker

Droplets help organize cells by compartmentalizing biomolecules and by mediating mechanical interactions. When bridging two structures, such droplets generate capillary forces, whi…

Heterogeneous Nucleation and Growth of Sessile Chemically Active Droplets

Noah Ziethen, David Zwicker

Droplets are essential for spatially controlling biomolecules in cells. To work properly, cells need to control the emergence and morphology of droplets. On the one hand, driven ch…

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study

Sophie Marbach, Noah Ziethen, Karen Alim

Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization. From the top-down principle…

Nucleation of chemically active droplets

Noah Ziethen, Jan Kirschbaum, David Zwicker

Driven chemical reactions can control the macroscopic properties of droplets, like their size. Such active droplets are critical in structuring the interior of biological cells. Ce…
