Intelligent Soft Matter: Towards Embodied Intelligence

Vladimir A. Baulin, Achille Giacometti, Dmitry Fedosov +24

Intelligent soft matter stands at the intersection of materials science, physics, and cognitive science, promising to change how we design and interact with materials. This transfo…

Surface Deformation During an Action Potential in Pearled Cells

Matan Mussel, Christian Fillafer, Gal Ben-Porath +1

Electric pulses in biological cells (action potentials) have been reported to be accompanied by a propagating cell-surface deformation with a nano-scale amplitude. Typically, this…

Screening lengths and osmotic compressibility of flexible polyelectrolytes in excess salt solutions

Carlos G. Lopez, Ferenc Horkay, Matan Mussel +2

We report results of small angle neutron scattering measurements made on sodium polystyrene sulfonate in aqueous salt solutions. The correlation length and osmotic compressibility…

It sounds like an action potential: unification of electrical, chemical and mechanical aspects of acoustic pulses in lipids

Matan Mussel, Matthias F. Schneider

In an ongoing debate on the physical nature of the action potential, one group adheres to the electrical model of Hodgkin and Huxley, while the other describes the action potential…

Similarities between action potentials and acoustic pulses in a van der Waals fluid

Matan Mussel, Matthias F. Schneider

An action potential is typically described as a purely electrical change that propagates along the membrane of excitable cells. However, recent experiments have demonstrated that n…

On cell surface deformation during an action potential

Christian Fillafer, Matan Mussel, Julia Muchowski +1

The excitation of many cells and tissues is associated with cell mechanical changes. The evidence presented herein corroborates that single cells deform during an action potential…

The 2-loop partition function of large N gauge theories with adjoint matter on S^3

Matan Mussel, Ran Yacoby

We compute the 2-loop thermal partition function of Yang-Mills theory on a small 3-sphere, in the large N limit with weak 't Hooft coupling. We include N_s scalars and N_f chiral f…
