Collective filament wrapping and nested spiral formation in active polydisperse systems
Caterina Landi, Giulia Janzen, Francesco Sciortino +3
We investigate a two-dimensional polydisperse suspension of self-propelled semiflexible filaments and reveal a collective wrapping mechanism that is absent in monodisperse systems.…

Inverse Thermodynamics: Designing Interactions for Targeted Phase Behavior
Camilla Beneduce, Giuseppe Mastriani, Petr Å ulc +2
The traditional goal of inverse self-assembly is to design interactions that drive particles toward a desired target structure. However, achieving successful self-assembly also req…

A Falsifiability Test for Classical Nucleation Theory
Camilla Beneduce, Diogo E. P. Pinto, Lorenzo Rovigatti +4
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) is built upon the capillarity approximation, i.e., the assumption that the nucleation properties can be inferred from the bulk properties of the m…
