Anomalous Microfluidic Phonons Induced by the Interplay of Hydrodynamic Screening and Incompressibility
Tsevi Beatus, Roy Bar-Ziv, Tsvi Tlusty
We investigate the acoustic normal modes ("phonons") of a 1D microfluidic droplet crystal at the crossover between 2D flow and confined 1D plug flow. The unusual phonon spectra of…
Phonons in a one-dimensional microfluidic crystal
Tsevi Beatus, Tsvi Tlusty, Roy Bar-Ziv
The development of a general theoretical framework for describing the behaviour of a crystal driven far from equilibrium has proved difficult1. Microfluidic crystals, formed by the…
Pearling in cells: A clue to understanding cell shape
Roy Bar-Ziv, Tsvi Tlusty, Elisha Moses +2
Gradual disruption of the actin cytoskeleton induces a series of structural shape changes in cells leading to a transformation of cylindrical cell extensions into a periodic chain…
High-Fidelity DNA Sensing by Protein Binding Fluctuations
Tsvi Tlusty, Roy Bar-Ziv, Albert Libchaber
One of the major functions of RecA protein in the cell is to bind single-stranded DNA exposed upon damage, thereby triggering the SOS repair response.We present fluorescence anisot…
Protein-DNA computation by stochastic assembly cascade
Roy Bar-Ziv, Tsvi Tlusty, Albert Libchaber
The assembly of RecA on single-stranded DNA is measured and interpreted as a stochastic finite-state machine that is able to discriminate fine differences between sequences, a basi…
Spontaneous Expulsion of Giant Lipid Vesicles Induced by Laser Tweezers
Roy Bar-Ziv, J. David Moroz, Elisha Moses +1
Irradiation of a giant unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicle with a focused laser spot leads to a tense pressurized state which persists indefinitely after laser shutoff. If the vesicl…
