ProGroTrack: Deep Learning-Assisted Tracking of Intracellular Protein Growth Dynamics

Kai San Chan, Huimiao Chen, Chenyu Jin +2

Accurate tracking of cellular and subcellular structures, along with their dynamics, plays a pivotal role in understanding the underlying mechanisms of biological systems. This pap…

Hole-initiated melting process of thin films

Chenyu Jin, Hans Riegler

We perform numerical and experimental studies on the melting process of thin films initiated by a small hole. The presence of a non-trivial capillary surface, namely the liquid/air…

Collective entrainment and confinement amplify transport by schooling micro-swimmers

Chenyu Jin, Yibo Chen, Corinna C. Maass +1

Micro-swimmers can serve as cargo carriers that move deep inside complex flow networks. When a school collectively entrains the surrounding fluid, their transport capacity can be e…

Oscillatory rheotaxis of active droplets in microchannels

Ranabir Dey, Carola M. Buness, Babak Vajdi Hokmabad +2

Biological microswimmers are known to navigate upstream of an external flow (positive rheotaxis) in trajectories ranging from linear, spiral to oscillatory. Such rheotaxis stems fr…

A fine balance of chemotactic and hydrodynamic torques: when microswimmers orbit a pillar just once

Chenyu Jin, Jérémy Vachier, Soumya Bandyopadhyay +2

We study the detention statistics of self-propelling droplet microswimmers attaching to microfluidic pillars. These droplets show negative autochemotaxis: they shed a persistent re…

Competition brings out the best: Modeling the frustration between curvature energy and chain stretching energy of lyotropic liquid crystals in bicontinuous cubic phases

Hao Chen, Chenyu Jin

It is commonly considered that the frustration between the curvature energy and the chain stretching energy plays an important role in the formation of lyotropic liquid crystals in…

Chemotaxis and auto-chemotaxis of self-propelling artificial droplet swimmers

Chenyu Jin, Carsten Krüger, Corinna C. Maass

Chemotaxis and auto-chemotaxis play an important role in many essential biological processes. We present a self-propelling artificial swimmer system which exhibits chemotaxis as we…

Morphological Transitions during Melting of Small Cylindrical Aggregates

Chenyu Jin, Hans Riegler

Most studies on melting under confinement focus only on the solid and liquid melt phases. Despite of its ubiquity, contributions from the capillary interface (liquid / vapor interf…

Non-isomorphic nucleation pathways arising from morphological transitions of liquid channels

Halim Kusumaatmaja, Reinhard Lipowsky, Chenyu Jin +2

Motivated by unexpected morphologies of the emerging liquid phase (channels, bulges, droplets) at the edge of thin, melting alkane terraces, we propose a new heterogeneous nucleati…
