Reversibility, Chaos, and Attractors in Periodically Sheared Elastic Filaments
Francesco Bonacci, Brato Chakrabarti, Olivia du Roure +2
The dynamics of filaments in flow are central to understanding a wide range of biological and soft-matter systems, yet their behavior under time-dependent forcing remains poorly un…

Specific yet transient bonds between anisotropic colloids
Muraleedharapai Mayarani, Justine Laurent, Martin Lenz +2
Self-assembly of colloidal particles is a promising avenue to control the shape and dynamics of larger aggregates. However, achieving the necessary fine control over the dynamics a…

Transient contacts between filaments impart its elasticity to branched actin
Mehdi Bouzid, Cesar Valencia Gallardo, Magdalena Kopec +5
Branched actin networks exert pushing forces in eukaryotic cells, and adapt their stiffness to their environment. The physical basis for their mechanics and adaptability is however…
