The Immunity of Polymer-Microemulsion Networks
Guy Hed, S. A. Safran
The concept of network immunity, i.e., the robustness of the network connectivity after a random deletion of edges or vertices, has been investigated in biological or communication…
Elastic interactions of active cells with soft materials
I. B. Bischofs, S. A. Safran, U. S. Schwarz
Anchorage-dependent cells collect information on the mechanical properties of the environment through their contractile machineries and use this information to position and orient…
Cytoskeleton confinement of red blood cell membrane fluctuations
N. Gov, A. G. Zilman, S. Safran
We analyze both the static and dynamic fluctuation spectrum of the red-blood cell in a unified manner, using a simple model of the composite membrane. In this model, the two-dimens…
Mechanical, adhesive and thermodynamic properties of hollow nanoparticles
U. S. Schwarz, S. A. Safran, S. Komura
When sheets of layered material like C, WS or BN are restricted to finite sizes, they generally form single- and multi-walled hollow nanoparticles in order to avoid dangling bo…
