Emergent single-species non-reciprocity from bistable chemical dynamics
Jakob Metson, Ramin Golestanian
The appearance of emergent symmetries in complex systems with components that can form composite units provides us with opportunities for design and control of exotic phase behavio…
Topological chiral random walker
Saeed Osat, Ellen Meyberg, Jakob Metson +1
Understanding how biological and synthetic systems achieve robust function in noisy environments remains a fundamental challenge across the physical and life sciences. To connect r…
Continuous-time multifarious systems -- Part II: non-reciprocal multifarious self-organization
Jakob Metson, Saeed Osat, Ramin Golestanian
In the context of self-assembly, where complex structures can be assembled from smaller units, it is desirable to devise strategies towards disassembly and reassembly processes tha…
Continuous-time multifarious systems -- Part I: equilibrium multifarious self-assembly
Jakob Metson, Saeed Osat, Ramin Golestanian
Multifarious assembly models consider multiple structures assembled from a shared set of components, reflecting the efficient usage of components in biological self-assembly. These…
Designing complex behaviors using transition-based allosteric self-assembly
Jakob Metson
Allosteric interactions occur when binding at one part of a complex affects the interactions at another part. Allostery offers a high degree of control in multi-species processes,…
Escaping kinetic traps using non-reciprocal interactions
Saeed Osat, Jakob Metson, Mehran Kardar +1
Kinetic traps are a notorious problem in equilibrium statistical mechanics, where temperature quenches ultimately fail to bring the system to low energy configurations. Using multi…
