Chromatin and cytoskeletal tethering determine nuclear morphology in progerin expressing cells
M. C. Lionetti, S. Bonfanti, M. R. Fumagalli +6
The nuclear morphology of eukaryotic cells is determined by the interplay between the lamina forming the nuclear skeleton, the chromatin inside the nucleus and the coupling with th…
Strain Modulation of Graphene by Nanoscale Substrate Curvatures: A Molecular View
Yingjie Zhang, Mohammad Heiranian, Blanka Janicek +7
Spatially nonuniform strain is important for engineering the pseudomagnetic field and band structure of graphene. Despite the wide interest in strain engineering, there is still a…
Frustration and thermalisation in an artificial magnetic quasicrystal
Dong Shi, Zoe Budrikis, Aaron Stein +4
We have created and studied artificial magnetic quasicrystals based on Penrose tiling patterns of interacting nanomagnets that lack the translational symmetry of spatially periodic…
Direct observation of percolation in the yielding transition of colloidal glasses
Antina Ghosh, Zoe Budrikis, Vijayakumar Chikkadi +3
When strained beyond the linear regime, soft colloidal glasses yield to steady-state plastic flow in a way that is similar to the deformation of conventional amorphous solids. Due…
Fluctuations in protein aggregation: Design of preclinical screening for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease
Giulio Costantini, Zoe Budrikis, Alessandro Taloni +3
Autocatalytic fibril nucleation has recently been proposed to be a determining factor for the spread of neurodegenerative diseases, but the same process could also be exploited to…
Role of the Number of Microtubules in Chromosome Segregation during Cell Division
Zsolt Bertalan, Zoe Budrikis, Caterina A. M. La Porta +1
Faithful segregation of genetic material during cell division requires alignment of chromosomes between two spindle poles and attachment of their kinetochores to each of the poles.…
Universality of Avalanche Exponents in Plastic Deformation of Disordered Solids
Zoe Budrikis, David Fernandez-Castellanos, Stefan Sandfeld +2
Plastic yield of amorphous solids occurs by power law distributed slip avalanches whose universality is still debated. Determination of the power law exponents from experiments and…
Navigation strategies of motor proteins on decorated tracks
Zsolt Bertalan, Zoe Budrikis, Caterina A. M. La Porta +1
Motor proteins display widely different stepping patterns as they move on microtubule tracks, from the deterministic linear or helical motion performed by the protein kinesin to th…
Avalanches, loading and finite size effects in 2D amorphous plasticity: results from a finite element model
Stefan Sandfeld, Zoe Budrikis, Stefano Zapperi +1
Crystalline plasticity is strongly interlinked with dislocation mechanics and nowadays is relatively well understood. Concepts and physical models of plastic deformation in amorpho…
Protein accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum as a non-equilibrium phase transition
Z. Budrikis, G. Costantini, C. A. La Porta +1
Several neurological disorders are associated with the aggregation of aberrant proteins, often localized in intracellular organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum. Here we stud…
Avoidance and Coalescence of Delamination Patterns
Zoe Budrikis, Alessandro L. Sellerio, Zsolt Bertalan +1
Delamination of coatings and thin films from substrates generates a fascinating variety of patterns, from circular blisters to wrinkles and labyrinth domains, in a way that is not…
Avalanche localization and crossover scaling in amorphous plasticity
Zoe Budrikis, Stefano Zapperi
We perform large scale simulations of a two dimensional lattice model for amorphous plasticity with random local yield stresses and long-range quadrupolar elastic interactions. We…
Size effects in dislocation depinning models for plastic yield
Zoe Budrikis, Stefano Zapperi
Typically, the plastic yield stress of a sample is determined from a stress-strain curve by defining a yield strain and reading off the stress required to attain it. However, it is…
Domain dynamics and fluctuations in artificial square ice at finite temperatures
Zoe Budrikis, K. L. Livesey, J. P. Morgan +5
The thermally-driven formation and evolution of vertex domains is studied for square artificial spin ice. A self consistent mean field theory is used to show how domains of ground…
A network model for field and quenched disorder effects in artificial spin ice
Zoe Budrikis, Paolo Politi, Robert L Stamps
We have performed a systematic study of the effects of field strength and quenched disorder on the driven dynamics of square artificial spin ice. We construct a network representat…
Disorder strength and field-driven ground state domain formation in artificial spin ice: experiment, simulation and theory
Zoe Budrikis, J. P. Morgan, J. Akerman +5
Quenched disorder affects how non-equilibrium systems respond to driving. In the context of artificial spin ice, an athermal system comprised of geometrically frustrated classical…
Disorder regimes and equivalence of disorder types in artificial spin ice
Zoe Budrikis, Paolo Politi, R. L. Stamps
The field-induced dynamics of artificial spin ice are determined in part by interactions between magnetic islands, and the switching characteristics of each island. Disorder in eit…
Diversity enabling equilibration: disorder and the ground state in artificial spin ice
Zoe Budrikis, Paolo Politi, R. L. Stamps
We report a novel approach to the question of whether and how the ground state can be achieved in square artificial spin ices where frustration is incomplete. We identify two types…
Vertex dynamics in finite two dimensional square spin ices
Zoe Budrikis, Paolo Politi, R. L. Stamps
Local magnetic ordering in artificial spin ices is discussed from the point of view of how geometrical frustration controls dynamics and the approach to steady state. We discuss th…
