How to puncture a biomembrane: elastic versus entropic rupture
Rosario Capozza, Luca Giomi, Carlo A. Gonano +1
A very common strategy to penetrate the cell membrane and access the internal compartment, consists of using sharp tips or nano needles. However recent experiments of cell penetrat…
Selective intracellular delivery and intracellular recordings combined on MEA biosensors
Andrea Cerea, Valeria Caprettini, Giulia Bruno +7
Biological studies on in vitro cell cultures are of fundamental importance to investigate cells response to external stimuli, such as new drugs for treatment of specific pathologie…
Cell membrane disruption by vertical nanopillars: the role of membrane bending and traction forces
Rosario Capozza, Valeria Caprettini, Carlo A. Gonano +4
Gaining access to the cell interior is fundamental for many applications, such as electrical recording, drug and biomolecular delivery. A very promising technique consists of cultu…
Static friction scaling of physisorbed islands: the key is in the edge
Nicola Varini, Andrea Vanossi, Roberto Guerra +3
The static friction preventing the free sliding of nanosized rare gas solid islands physisorbed on incommensurate crystalline surfaces is not completely understood. Simulations mod…
Stabilizing stick-slip friction
Rosario Capozza, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Itay Barel +2
Even the most regular stick-slip frictional sliding is always stochastic, with irregularity in both the intervals between slip events and the sizes of the associated stress drops.…
Suppression of friction by mechanical vibrations
Rosario Capozza, Andrea Vanossi, Alessandro Vezzani +1
Mechanical vibrations are known to affect frictional sliding and the associated stick-slip patterns causing sometimes a drastic reduction of the friction force. This issue is relev…
