Synthetic paracrine signaling of colloids drives self-assembly limit cycles
Tim E. Veenstra, René van Roij, René van Roij +2
Developing synthetic materials that exhibit life-like behavior, such as internally driven cycles, remains a central challenge in active matter. Here, we introduce a minimal colloid…

Counting, Computing, and Pattern Recognition with Self-Assembling Non-Reciprocal DNA Tiles
Tim E. Veenstra, René van Roij, Marjolein Dijkstra
Harnessing the intrinsic dynamics of physical systems for information processing opens new avenues for computation embodied in matter. Using simulations of a model system, we show…

Ion Selectivity in Uncharged Tapered Nanoslits through Heterogeneous Water Polarization
Tim Veenstra, Gerardo Campos-Villalobos, Giuliana Giunta +2
We employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate ion and water transport driven by an electric field through quasi-two-dimensional nanoslits with a tapered geometry. Despite…
