Multiple temperatures and melting of a colloidal active crystal
Helena Massana-Cid, Claudio Maggi, Nicoletta Gnan +2
Thermal fluctuations constantly and evenly excite all vibrational modes in an equilibrium crystal. As the temperature rises, these fluctuations promote the formation of defects and…
Thermodynamic limits of sperm swimming precision
C. Maggi, B. Nath, F. Saglimbeni +3
Sperm swimming is crucial to fertilise the egg, in nature and in assisted reproductive technologies. Modelling the sperm dynamics involves elasticity, hydrodynamics, internal activ…
A microfluidic method for passive trapping of sperms in microstructures
Binita Nath, Lorenzo Caprini, Claudio Maggi +5
Sperm motility is a prerequisite for male fertility. Enhancing the concentration of motile sperms in assisted reproductive technologies - for human and animal reproduction - is typ…
Self-assembly of micro-machining systems powered by Janus micro-motors
C. Maggi, J. Simmchen, F. Saglimbeni +5
Integration of active matter in larger micro-devices can provide an embedded source of propulsion and lead to self-actuated micromachining systems that do not rely on any external…
