The mechanics of disclination emergence in 3D active nematics

Yingyou Ma, Christopher Amey, Aparna Baskaran +1

The spontaneous creation of disclinations is a defining characteristic of active nematics, which is rarely observed in equilibrium systems or other active matter systems. Thus, und…

From toroids to helical tubules: Kirigami-inspired programmable assembly of two-periodic curved crystals

Mason Price, Daichi Hayakawa, Thomas E. Videbæk +6

Biology is full of intricate molecular structures whose geometries are inextricably linked to their function. Many of these structures exhibit varying curvature, such as the helica…

Measuring multisubunit mechanics of geometrically-programmed colloidal assemblies via cryo-EM multi-body refinement

Thomas E. Videbæk, Daichi Hayakawa, Michael F. Hagan +3

Programmable self-assembly has recently enabled the creation of complex structures through precise control of the interparticle interactions and the particle geometries. Targeting…

Magic sizes enable minimal-complexity, high-fidelity assembly of programmable shells

Botond Tyukodi, Fernando Caballero, Daichi Hayakawa +4

Recent advances in synthetic methods enable designing subunits that self-assemble into structures with precise, finite sizes and well-defined architectures, but yields are frequent…

Active noise-induced dynamic clustering of passive colloids

Layne B. Frechette, Aparna Baskaran, Michael F. Hagan

Active fluids generate spontaneous, often chaotic mesoscale flows. Harnessing these flows to drive embedded soft materials into structures with controlled length scales and lifetim…

Closed-loop control of active nematic flows

Katsu Nishiyama, John Berezney, Michael M. Norton +5

Living things enact control of non-equilibrium, dynamical structures through complex biochemical networks, accomplishing spatiotemporally-orchestrated physiological tasks such as c…
