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…
Universal low-frequency vibrational modes in silica glasses
Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Chandana Mondal +2
It was recently shown that different simple models of glass formers with binary interactions define a universality class in terms of the density of states of their quasi-localized…
Automatic Design of Mechanical Metamaterial Actuators
Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Francesc Font Clos +2
Mechanical metamaterials actuators achieve pre-determined input--output operations exploiting architectural features encoded within a single 3D printed element, thus removing the n…
Elementary plastic events in amorphous silica
Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Chandana Mondal +2
Plastic instabilities in amorphous materials are often studied using idealized models of binary mixtures that do not capture accurately molecular interactions and bonding present i…
Oscillatory Instabilities in 3-Dimensional Frictional Granular Matter
Silvia Bonfanti, Joyjit Chattoraj, Roberto Guerra +2
The dynamics of amorphous granular matter with frictional interactions cannot be derived in general from a Hamiltonian and therefore displays oscillatory instabilities stemming fro…
Protein driven lipid domain nucleation in biological membranes
Moritz Hoferer, Silvia Bonfanti, Alessandro Taloni +2
Lipid rafts are heterogeneous dynamic lipid domains of the cell membranes that are involved in several biological processes, like protein and lipids specific transport and signalin…
Density scaling in the mechanics of a disordered mechanical meta-material
Daniel Rayneau-Kirkhope, Silvia Bonfanti, Stefano Zapperi
Nature provides examples of self-assemble lightweight disordered network structures with remarkable mechanical properties which are desirable for many applications purposes but cha…
Realistic Tunneling States for the Magnetic Effects in Non-Metallic Real Glasses
Giancarlo Jug, Silvia Bonfanti, Walter Kob
The discovery of magnetic and compositional effects in the low temperature properties of multi-component glasses has prompted the need to extend the standard two-level systems (2LS…
On the Paramagnetic Impurity Concentration of Silicate Glasses from Low-Temperature Physics
Silvia Bonfanti, Giancarlo Jug
The concentration of paramagnetic trace impurities in glasses can be determined via precise SQUID measurements of the sample's magnetization in a magnetic field. However the existe…
