Programming Boundary Deformation Patterns in Active Networks
Zijie Qu, Jialong Jiang, Heun Jin Lee +3
Active materials take advantage of their internal sources of energy to self-organize in an automated manner. This feature provides a novel opportunity to design micron-scale machin…
Persistent fluid flows defined by active matter boundaries
Zijie Qu, Dominik Schildknecht, Shahriar Shadkhoo +5
Biological systems achieve precise control over ambient fluids through the self-organization of active protein structures including flagella, cilia, and cytoskeletal networks. In a…
Controlling Organization and Forces in Active Matter Through Optically-Defined Boundaries
Tyler D. Ross, Heun Jin Lee, Zijie Qu +3
Living systems are capable of locomotion, reconfiguration, and replication. To perform these tasks, cells spatiotemporally coordinate the interactions of force-generating, "active"…
Elastic energy of polyhedral bilayer vesicles
Christoph A. Haselwandter, Rob Phillips
In recent experiments [M. Dubois, B. Demé, T. Gulik-Krzywicki, J.-C. Dedieu, C. Vautrin, S. Désert, E. Perez, and T. Zemb, Nature (London) Vol. 411, 672 (2001)] the spontaneous for…
Minimal Bending Energies of Bilayer Polyhedra
Christoph A. Haselwandter, Rob Phillips
Motivated by recent experiments on bilayer polyhedra composed of amphiphilic molecules, we study the elastic bending energies of bilayer vesicles forming polyhedral shapes. Allowin…
Exact theory of kinkable elastic polymers
Paul A. Wiggins, Rob Phillips, Philip C. Nelson
The importance of nonlinearities in material constitutive relations has long been appreciated in the continuum mechanics of macroscopic rods. Although the moment (torque) response…
