Polymorphism in tubulin assemblies: a mechanical model
Ireth García-Aguilar, Steven Zwaan, Luca Giomi
We investigate the mechanical origin of polymorphic structures in two-dimensional tubulin assemblies, of which microtubules are the best known example. These structures feature twi…
Reply to Comment on "Faceting and flattening of emulsion droplets: a mechanical model" by Haas et al
Ireth García-Aguilar, Ayelet Atkins, Piermarco Fonda +2
In their Comment [arXiv:2102.03842], Haas et al. advance two hypotheses on the nature of the shape transformations observed in surfactant-stabilized emulsion droplets, as the theor…
Faceting and flattening of emulsion droplets: a mechanical model
Ireth García-Aguilar, Piermarco Fonda, Eli Sloutskin +1
When cooled down, emulsion droplets stabilized by a frozen interface of alkane molecules and surfactants have been observed to undergo a spectacular sequence of morphological trans…
Dislocation screening in crystals with spherical topology
Ireth García-Aguilar, Piermarco Fonda, Luca Giomi
Whereas disclination defects are energetically prohibitive in two-dimensional flat crystals, their existence is necessary in crystals with spherical topology, such as viral capsids…
