Alignments of a Microparticle Pair in a Glow Discharge
Molecules, 2021 Stability of a vertically aligned microparticle pair in a stratified glow DC discharge is experimentally investigated. Using laser perturbations, it is shown that, for the same discharge parameters, a pair of microparticles can be suspended in two stable

Matter Effects in Active-Sterile Solar Neutrino Oscillations [PDF]
, 2009 The matter effects for solar neutrino oscillations are studied in a general scheme with an arbitrary number of sterile neutrinos, without any constraint on the mixing, assuming only a realistic hierarchy of neutrino squared-mass differences in which the ...

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 Phase-change material–elastomer composite (PCMEC) actuators are composed of a soft elastomer matrix embedding a phase-change fluid, typically ethanol, in microbubbles. When increasing the temperature, the phase change in each bubble induces a macroscopic

The 2020 motile active matter roadmap [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2020 Abstract Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This has stimulated the new field of ‘active matter’ in recent years, which focuses on the physical aspects of propulsion mechanisms, and on motility-induced emergent collective behavior of a larger number of identical agents.

Differential-activity driven instabilities in biphasic active matter [PDF]
, 2017 Active stresses can cause instabilities in contractile gels and living tissues. Here we describe a generic hydrodynamic theory that treats these systems as a mixture of two phases of varying activity and different mechanical properties.

Anomalous cell sorting behavior in mixed monolayers discloses hidden system complexities
New Journal of Physics, 2021 In tissue development, wound healing and aberrant cancer progression cell–cell interactions drive mixing and segregation of cellular composites. However, the exact nature of these interactions is unsettled.

Swirlonic state of active matter. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractWe report a novel state of active matter—a swirlonic state. It is comprised of swirlons, formed by groups of active particles orbiting their common center of mass. These quasi-particles demonstrate a surprising behavior: In response to an external load they move with a constant velocity proportional to the applied force, just as objects in ...

The masses of active neutrinos in the nuMSM from X-ray astronomy [PDF]
, 2006 In an extention of the Standard Model by three relatively light right-handed neutrinos (the nuMSM model) the role of the dark matter particle is played by the lightest sterile neutrino.

An Integrated Cytoskeletal Model of Neurite Outgrowth
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Neurite outgrowth underlies the wiring of the nervous system during development and regeneration. Despite a significant body of research, the underlying cytoskeletal mechanics of growth and guidance are not fully understood, and the relative ...
