Tunable dynamics of microtubule based active isotropic gels
Gil Henkin, Stephen J. DeCamp, Daniel TN Chen +2
We investigate the dynamics of an active gel of bundled microtubules that is driven by clusters of kinesin molecular motors. Upon the addition of ATP, the coordinated action of tho…
Topology and Dynamics of Active Nematic Vesicles
Felix C. Keber, Etienne Loiseau, Tim Sanchez +6
Engineering synthetic materials that mimic the remarkable complexity of living organisms is a fundamental challenge in science and technology. We study the spatiotemporal patterns…
Spontaneous motion in hierarchically assembled active matter
Tim Sanchez, Daniel T. N. Chen, Stephen J. DeCamp +2
With exquisite precision and reproducibility, cells orchestrate the cooperative action of thousands of nanometer-sized molecular motors to carry out mechanical tasks at much larger…
