Diffusion of an ellipsoid in bacterial suspensions
Yi Peng, Lipeng Lai, Yi-Shu Tai +3
Active matter such as swarming bacteria and motile colloids exhibits exotic properties different from conventional equilibrium materials. Among these properties, the enhanced diffu…
Stiffening of Red Blood Cells Induced by Disordered Cytoskeleton Structures: A Joint Theory-experiment Study
Lipeng Lai, Xiaofeng Xu, Chwee Teck Lim +1
The functions and elasticities of the cell are largely related to the structures of the cytoskeletons underlying the lipid bi-layer. Among various cell types, the Red Blood Cell (R…
Spectrins in Axonal Cytoskeletons: Dynamics Revealed by Extensions and Fluctuations
Lipeng Lai, Jianshu Cao
The macroscopic properties, the properties of individual components and how those components interact with each other are three important aspects of a composited structure. An unde…
Vibration and Nonlinear Resonance in the Break-up of an Underwater Bubble
Lipeng Lai, Nathan C. Keim, Kamel Fezzaa +2
We use high-speed X-ray phase-contrast imaging, weakly nonlinear analysis and boundary integral simulations to characterize the final stage of underwater bubble break-up. The X-ray…
Curvature Singularity in the Asymmetric Breakup of an Underwater Air Bubble
Lipeng Lai
The presence of slight azimuthal asymmetry in the initial shape of an underwater bubble entirely alters the final breakup dynamics. Here I examine the influence of initial asymmetr…
Asymmetric bubble disconnection: persistent vibration evolves into smooth contact
Konstantin S. Turitsyn, Lipeng Lai, Wendy W. Zhang
Focusing a finite amount of energy dynamically into a vanishingly small amount of material requires that the initial condition be perfectly symmetric. In reality, imperfections are…
