Direct Measurement of Unsteady Microscale Stokes Flow Using Optically Driven Microspheres
Nicolas Bruot, Pietro Cicuta, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadelha +4
A growing body of work on the dynamics of eukaryotic flagella has noted that their oscillation frequencies are sufficiently high that the viscous penetration depth of unsteady Stok…
Two Microspheres in an External Flow: a Dance of Cause and Effect
Golnaz Najafi Gol-Vandani, Simone Di Leo, Jurij Kotar +2
In low Reynolds number swimming and pumping, differently to everyday experience, a net motion (or flow) can be achieved only if the constructing parts of the swimmer (or pump) foll…
Optical trapping of colloids at a liquid-liquid interface
Alessio Caciagli, Darshana Joshi, Jurij Kotar +1
We demonstrate the realization of (laterally) optically bounded colloidal structures on a liquid-liquid interface of an emulsion droplet. We use DNA tethers to graft the particles…
Melting transition in lipid vesicles functionalised by mobile DNA linkers
S. J. Bachmann, J. Kotar, L. Parolini +4
We study phase behaviours of lipid--bilayer vesicles functionalised by ligand--receptor complexes made of synthetic DNA by introducing a modelling framework and a dedicated experim…
Volume and porosity thermal regulation in lipid mesophases by coupling mobile ligands to soft membranes
Lucia Parolini, Bortolo M. Mognetti, Jurij Kotar +3
Short DNA linkers are increasingly being exploited for driving specific self-assembly of Brownian objects. DNA-functionalised colloids can assemble into ordered or amorphous materi…
Multistep kinetic self-assembly of DNA-coated colloids
Lorenzo Di Michele, Francesco Varrato, Jurij Kotar +3
Self-assembly is traditionally described as the process through which an initially disordered system relaxes towards an equilibrium ordered phase only driven by local interactions…
