Transition path time over a barrier of a colloidal particle in a viscoelastic bath
Brandon R. Ferrer, Alejandro V. Arzola, Denis Boyer +1
We experimentally study the statistics of the transition path time taken by a submicron bead to successfully traverse an energy barrier created by two optical tweezers in two proto…

Tutorial for the growth and development of Myxococcus xanthus as a Model System at the Intersection of Biology and Physics
Jesus Manuel Antúnez DomÃnguez, Laura Pérez GarcÃa, Natsuko Rivera-Yoshida +8
Myxococcus xanthus is a unicellular organism whose cells possess the ability to move and communicate, leading to the emergence of complex collective properties and behaviours. This…
