Beyond the Markovian limit: Exact solutions for active motion in a power-law viscoelastic bath
Mintu Karmakar, Jure Dobnikar, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Active particles from bacteria to synthetic microswimmers often navigate viscoelastic media with complex relaxation dynamics. The classical active Brownian model that assumes insta…

Monte-Carlo study of Compositional Heterogeneity in Multicomponent Cluster Crystals
Roshan Maharana, Daan Frenkel, Jure Dobnikar
Soft (sub)micron-sized particles with bounded interactions can form cluster crystals, periodic structures in which multiple particles occupy the same lattice site. While the thermo…

Spool-nematic ordering of dsDNA and dsRNA under confinement
James Farrell, Jure Dobnikar, Rudolf Podgornik +1
The ability of double-stranded DNA or RNA to locally melt and form kinks leads to strong non-linear elasticity effects that qualitatively affect their packing in confined spaces. U…
