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…
Gauging nanoswimmer dynamics via the motion of large bodies
Ashwani Kr. Tripathi, Tsvi Tlusty
Nanoswimmers are ubiquitous in bio- and nano-technology but are extremely challenging to measure due to their minute size and driving forces. A simple method is proposed for detect…
Acceleration of enzymatic catalysis by active hydrodynamic fluctuations
Ashwani Kr. Tripathi, Tamoghna Das, Govind Paneru +2
The cellular milieu is teeming with biochemical nano-machines whose activity is a strong source of correlated non-thermal fluctuations termed active noise. Essential elements of th…
Kinetic Proofreading and the Limits of Thermodynamic Uncertainty
William D. Piñeros, Tsvi Tlusty
To mitigate errors induced by the cell's heterogeneous noisy environment, its main information channels and production networks utilize the kinetic proofreading (KPR) mechanism. He…
Physical model of the genotype-to-phenotype map of proteins
Tsvi Tlusty, Albert Libchaber, Jean-Pierre Eckmann
How DNA is mapped to functional proteins is a basic question of living matter. We introduce and study a physical model of protein evolution which suggests a mechanical basis for th…
Asymptotic Cellular Growth Rate as the Effective Information Utilization Rate
Rami Pugatch, Naama Barkai, Tsvi Tlusty
We study the average asymptotic growth rate of cells in randomly fluctuating environments, with multiple viable phenotypes per environment. We show that any information processing…
