Orbiting of bacteria around micrometer-sized particles entrapping shallow tents of fluids
George Araujo, Weijie Chen, Sridhar Mani +1
Hydrodynamics and confinement dominate bacterial mobility near solid or air-water boundaries, causing flagellated bacteria to move in circular trajectories. This phenomenon results…
Accumulation of Microswimmers due to Their Collisions with a Surface
Guanglai Li, Jay X. Tang
In this letter we propose a kinematic model to show how collisions with a surface and rotational Brownian motion give rise to the accumulation of micro-swimmers near a surface. In…
Polymerization Force Driven Buckling of Microtubule Bundles Determines the Wavelength of Patterns Formed in Tubulin Solutions
Yongxing Guo, Yifeng Liu, Jay X. Tang +1
We present a model for the spontaneous formation of a striated pattern in polymerizing microtubule solutions. It describes the buckling of a single microtubule (MT) bundle within a…
The Isotropic to Nematic Liquid Crystalline Phase Transition of F-actin Varies from Continuous to First Order
Jorge Viamontes, Patrick W. Oakes, Jay X. Tang
We report that the properties of the isotropic to nematic liquid crystalline phase transition of F-actin depend critically on the average filament length. For average filament leng…
Temperature Effects on Threshold Counterion Concentration to Induce Aggregation of fd Virus
Qi Wen, Jay X Tang
We seek to determine the mechanism of like-charge attraction by measuring the temperature dependence of critical divalent counterion concentration () for the aggregatio…
Formation of nematic liquid crystalline phase of F-actin varies from continuous to biphasic transition
Jorge Viamontes, Jay X. Tang
We show that the isotropic to nematic liquid crystalline phase transition of F-actin can be either continuous or discontinuous, depending critically on the filament length. For F-a…
