Spontaneous flows in active smectics with dislocations
Shao-Zhen Lin, Frank Jülicher, Jacques Prost +1
We construct a hydrodynamic theory of active smectics A in two-dimensional space, including the creation/annihilation and motility of dislocations with Burgers' number . We d…
Generic theory of colloidal transport
Frank Julicher, Jacques Prost
We discuss the motion of colloidal particles relative to a two component fluid consisting of solvent and solute. Particle motion can result from (i) net body forces on the particle…
Auditory Sensitivity Provided by Self-tuned Critical Oscillations of Hair Cells
Sebastien Camalet, Thomas Duke, Frank Julicher +1
We introduce the concept of self-tuned criticality as a general mechanism for signal detection in sensory systems. In the case of hearing, we argue that active amplification of fai…
Nonequilibrium Fluctuations, Travelling Waves, and Instabilities in Active Membranes
Sriram Ramaswamy, John Toner, Jacques Prost
The stability of a flexible fluid membrane containing a distribution of mobile, active proteins (e.g. proton pumps) is shown to depend on the structure and functional asymmetry of…
