Resonant Untrapping of Active Polymers in Breathing Lattices
Yihang Sun, Yixiang Li, Tsvi Tlusty +1
In crowded environments, active polymers can trap themselves by winding into long-lived conformations. We show that fluctuations of the surrounding confinement can resonantly accel…
Water and the Many-Body Imagination
Albert Libchaber, Tsvi Tlusty
An electron crosses the cold Fermi sea. The sea recoils, screens, remembers. It returns the electron dressed: a quasiparticle with a mass, a lifetime, and a Green function. This wa…
Geometric-Chemical Distance Between Protein Surfaces
Himanshu Swami, John M. McBride, Jean-Pierre Eckmann +1
Proteins recognize, bind, and catalyze through molecular surfaces, where geometry and chemical patterning determine interaction. Comparing these surfaces requires both a geometric-…
Interplay of Fidelity and Diversity in the Evolution of the Genetic Code
Yudam Seo, Tsvi Tlusty, Junghyo Jo
The origin and organizing principles of the genetic code remain fundamental puzzles in life science. The vanishingly low probability of the natural codon-to-amino acid mapping aris…
Walks in Rotation Spaces Return Home when Doubled and Scaled
Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Tsvi Tlusty
The dynamics of numerous physical systems, such as spins and qubits, can be described as a series of rotation operations, i.e., walks in the manifold of the rotation group. A basic…
Information and motor constraints shape melodic diversity across cultures
John M McBride, Nahie Kim, Yuri Nishikawa +3
The number of possible melodies is unfathomably large, yet despite this virtually unlimited potential for melodic variation, melodies from different societies can be surprisingly s…
