Shear-induced gelation of self-yielding active networks
David A. Gagnon, Claudia Dessi, John P. Berezney +4
Molecular-motor generated active stresses drive the cytoskeleton away from equilibrium, endowing it with tunable mechanical properties that are essential for diverse functions such…
Transition from turbulent to coherent flows in confined three-dimensional active fluids
Kun-Ta Wu, Jean Bernard Hishamunda, Daniel T. N. Chen +5
Transport of fluid through a pipe is essential for the operation of macroscale machines and microfluidic devices. Conventional fluids only flow in response to external pressure. We…
ATP consumption of eukaryotic flagella measured at a single-cell level
Daniel T. N. Chen, Michael Heymann, Seth Fraden +2
The motility of cilia and flagella is driven by thousands of dynein motors that hydrolyze adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Despite decades of genetic, biochemical, structural and biop…
Tunable dynamics of microtubule based active isotropic gels
Gil Henkin, Stephen J. DeCamp, Daniel TN Chen +2
We investigate the dynamics of an active gel of bundled microtubules that is driven by clusters of kinesin molecular motors. Upon the addition of ATP, the coordinated action of tho…
Spontaneous motion in hierarchically assembled active matter
Tim Sanchez, Daniel T. N. Chen, Stephen J. DeCamp +2
With exquisite precision and reproducibility, cells orchestrate the cooperative action of thousands of nanometer-sized molecular motors to carry out mechanical tasks at much larger…
Low-frequency vibrations of soft colloidal glasses
Ke Chen, Wouter G. Ellenbroek, Zexin Zhang +8
We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the t…
