Structuring Stress for Active Materials Control
Rui Zhang, Steven A. Redford, Paul V. Ruijgrok +8
Active materials are capable of converting free energy into mechanical work to produce autonomous motion, and exhibit striking collective dynamics that biology relies on for essent…
Nucleation and shape dynamics of model nematic tactoids around adhesive colloids
Nicholas B. Ludwig, Kimberly Weirich, Eli Alster +4
Recent experiments have shown how nematically-ordered tactoid shaped actin droplets can be reorganized and divided by the action of myosin molecular motors. In this paper, we consi…
Stress relaxation in F-actin solutions by severing
S. Arzash, P. M. McCall, J. Feng +2
Networks of filamentous actin (F-actin) are important for the mechanics of most animal cells. These cytoskeletal networks are highly dynamic, with a variety of actin-associated pro…
