Light-Activated Motion, Geometry- and Confinement-Induced Optical Effects of 2D Platelets in a Nematic Liquid Crystal
Antonio Tavera-Vázquez, Danai Montalvan-Sorrosa, Gustavo Perez-Lemus +4
Motile liquid crystal (LC) colloids show peculiar behavior due to the high sensitivity to external stimuli driven by the LC elastic and surface effects. However, few studies focus…
Inferring interaction potentials from stochastic particle trajectories
Ella M. King, Megan C. Engel, Caroline Martin +5
Accurate interaction potentials between microscopic components such as colloidal particles or cells are crucial to understanding a range of processes, including colloidal crystalli…
Geometric frustration of hard-disk packings on cones
Jessica H. Sun, Abigail Plummer, Grace H. Zhang +2
Conical surfaces pose an interesting challenge to crystal growth: a crystal growing on a cone can wrap around and meet itself at different radii. We use a disk-packing algorithm to…
Effect of coat-protein concentration on the self-assembly of bacteriophage MS2 capsids around RNA
LaNell A. Williams, Andreas Neophytou, Rees F. Garmann +2
Self-assembly is a vital part of the life cycle of certain icosahedral RNA viruses. Furthermore, the assembly process can be harnessed to make icosahedral virus-like particles (VLP…
Precise characterization of nanometer-scale systems using interferometric scattering microscopy and Bayesian analysis
Xander M. de Wit, Amelia W. Paine, Caroline Martin +3
Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) can image the dynamics of nanometer-scale systems. The typical approach to analyzing interferometric images involves intensive process…
Experimental observations of fractal landscape dynamics in a dense emulsion
Clary Rodriguez-Cruz, Mehdi Molaei, Amruthesh Thirumalaiswamy +6
Many soft and biological materials display so-called 'soft glassy' dynamics; their constituents undergo anomalous random motions and complex cooperative rearrangements. A recent si…
