Cell mechanics and signalisation: SARS-CoV-2 hijacks membrane liquid crystals and cytoskeletal fractal topology
Christiane Binot, Jean-Francois Sadoc, Claude-Henri Chouard
We highlight changes to cell signalling under virus invasion (SARS-CoV-2), involving disturbance of membranes and of nanodomains, modulated by the cytoskeleton. Virus alters the me…
Area convergence of Voronoi cells on spiral lattices
Yoshikazu Yamagishi, Takamichi Sushida, Jean-François Sadoc
It is shown that the area of Voronoi cells for a generalized Archimedean spiral lattice converges under some scale normalization, if the angle parameter is badly approximable.
Liquid crystal director fields in three-dimensional non-Euclidean geometries
Jean-François Sadoc, Rémy Mosseri, Jonathan V. Selinger
This paper investigates nematic liquid crystals in three-dimensional curved space, and determines which director deformation modes are compatible with each possible type of non-Euc…
Metallurgy of soft spheres with hard core: from BCC to Frank-Kasper phases
Brigitte Pansu, Jean-François Sadoc
Understanding how soft particles can fill the space is still an open question. Structures far from classical FCC or BCC phases are now commonly experimentally observed in many diff…
Quasicrystalline three-dimensional foams
Simon J. Cox, François Graner, Rémy Mosseri +1
We present a numerical study of quasiperiodic foams, in which the bubbles are generated as duals of quasiperiodic Frank-Kasper phases. These foams are investigated as potential can…
Quasiperiodic Frank-Kasper phases derived from the square-triangle dodecagonal tiling
Jean-François Sadoc, Rémy Mosseri
Frank-Kasper (F-K) phases form an important set of large-cell crystalline structures describing many inter-metallic alloys. They are usually described in term of their atomic envir…
