Artificial Rheotaxis
Jeremie Palacci, Stefano Sacanna, Anais Abrahmian +5
Motility is a basic feature of living microorganisms, and how it works is often determined by environmental cues. Recent efforts have focused on develop- ing artificial systems tha…
Quasi-Equilibrium Self-Assembly of Small RNA Viruses
Robijn F. Bruinsma, Mauricio Comas-Garcia, Rees F. Garmann +1
We propose a description for the quasi-equilibrium self-assembly of small, single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses whose capsid proteins (CPs) have flexible, positively charged, disordere…
A perturbative theory for Brownian vortexes
Henrique W. Moyses, Ross O. Bauer, Alexander Y. Grosberg +1
Brownian vortexes are stochastic machines that use static non-conservative force fields to bias random thermal fluctuations into steadily circulating currents. The archetype for th…
From statistics of regular tree-like graphs to distribution function and gyration radius of branched polymers
Alexander Y. Grosberg, Sergei K. Nechaev
We consider flexible branched polymer, with quenched branch structure, and show that its conformational entropy as a function of its gyration radius , at large , obeys, in th…
Activity induced phase separation
Alexander Y. Grosberg, Jean-François Joanny
We consider a mixture of passive (i.e., Brownian) and active (e.g., bacterial or colloidal swimmers) particles, and analyze the stability conditions of either uniformly mixed or ph…
