Origin of Persistent Boundary Motion in Confined Active Matter
Elsa Baby, Manoj Gopalakrishnan, Vishwas V. Vasisht
Active matter systems under confinement display persistent surface motion and a strong boundary affinity. However, despite extensive studies of their positional dynamics, much less…
Yielding in amorphous solids reveals an age-dependent intrinsic lengthscale
Aparna Sreekumari, Monoj Adhikari, Nandlal Pingua +5
Understanding how amorphous solids yield under shear is central to predicting material failure, yet prescribing reliable local yielding criteria remains a fundamental challenge. He…
Curvature dependent dynamics of a bacterium confined in a giant unilamellar vesicle
Olivia Vincent, Aparna Sreekumari, Manoj Gopalakrishnan +2
We investigate the positional behavior of a single bacterium confined within a vesicle by measuring the probability of locating the bacterium at a certain distance from the vesicle…
Breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation in Stillinger-Weber Silicon
Himani Rautela, Shiladitya Sengupta, Vishwas V. Vasisht
We investigate the dynamical properties of liquid and supercooled liquid silicon, modeled using the Stillinger-Weber (SW) potential, to examine the validity of the Stokes-Einstein…
