Kinetic theory of emulsions with matter supply
Jacqueline Janssen, Frank Jülicher, Christoph A. Weber
In this work, we propose a theory for the kinetics of emulsions in which a continuous supply of matter feeds droplet growth. We consider cases where growth is either limited by bul…
Theory of Reversed Ripening in Active Phase Separating Systems
Jonathan Bauermann, Giacomo Bartolucci, Christoph A. Weber +1
The ripening dynamics in passive systems is governed by the theory of Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW). Here, we present an analog theory for reversed ripening in active systems. To d…
Fluid flow and spatiotemporal chaos in chemically active emulsions
Charu Datt, Jonathan Bauermann, Nazmi Burak Budanur +1
We study phase-separating fluid mixtures as they demix in the presence of chemical reactions that maintain them away from thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that in such chemically…
Non-equilibrium structure and relaxation in active microemulsions
Rakesh Chatterjee, Hui-Shun Kuan, Frank Julicher +1
Microphase separation is common in active biological systems as exemplified by the separation of RNA and DNA-rich phases in the cell nucleus driven by the transcriptional activity…
Non Equilibrium Transitions in a Polymer Replication Ensemble
Arthur Genthon, Carl D. Modes, Frank Jülicher +1
The fuel-driven process of replication in living systems generates distributions of copied entities with varying degrees of copying accuracy. Here we introduce a thermodynamically…
Condensate Formation in a Chiral Lattice Gas
Boyi Wang, Frank Jülicher, Patrick Pietzonka
We investigate the formation of condensates in a binary lattice gas in the presence of chiral interactions. These interactions differ between a given microscopic configuration and…
