Linking neutrino oscillations to the nucleosynthesis of elements

open access: yes, 2015
Neutrino interactions with matter play an important role in determining the nucleosynthesis outcome in explosive astrophysical environments such as core-collapse supernovae or mergers of compact objects.

Defect order in active nematics on a curved surface

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2020
We investigate the effects of extrinsic curvature on the turbulent behavior of a 2D active nematic confined to the surface of a cylinder. The surface of a cylinder has no intrinsic curvature and only extrinsic curvature.

Roles of energy dissipation in a liquid-solid transition of out-of-equilibrium systems

open access: yes, 2015
Self-organization of active matter as well as driven granular matter in non-equilibrium dynamical states has attracted considerable attention not only from the fundamental and application viewpoints but also as a model to understand the occurrence of ...

Crystallization and flow in active patch systems

open access: yes, 2017
Based upon recent experiments in which Janus particles are made into active swimmers by illuminating them with laser light, we explore the effect of applying a light pattern on the sample, thereby creating activity inducing zones or active patches.

Phoretic Active Matter

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract The force-free nature of interfacial transport processes that are collectively terms as phoretic mechanisms (such as diffusiophoresis, electrophoresis, thermophoresis, etc) affords the possibility of designing self-propelled particles, e.g. Janus particles with built-in sources that arise from catalytic activity or light-induced

Active Matter in Lateral Parabolic Confinement: From Subdiffusion to Superdiffusion

open access: yes, 2016
In this work we studied the diffusive behavior of active brownian particles under lateral parabolic confinement. The results showed that we go from subdiffusion to ballistic motion as we vary the angular noise strength and confinement intensity.

A Microrobotic Design for the Spontaneous Tracing of Isochemical Contours in the Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems
Microrobotic platforms hold significant potential to advance a variety of fields, from medicine to environmental sensing. Herein, minimally functional robotic entities modeled on readily achievable state‐of‐the‐art features in a modern lab or cleanroom ...

Exotic Charges, Multicomponent Dark Matter and Light Sterile Neutrinos

open access: yes, 2013
Generating small sterile neutrino masses via the same seesaw mechanism that suppresses active neutrino masses requires a specific structure in the neutral fermion mass matrix.

Optimizing collective behavior of communicating active particles with machine learning

open access: yesMachine Learning: Science and Technology
Bacteria and other self-propelling microorganisms produce and respond to signaling molecules to communicate with each other (quorum sensing) and to direct their collective behavior.

Active Galactic Nuclei and Transformation of Dark Matter into Visible Matter

open access: yes, 2009
The hypothesis that dark matter is converted into visible particles in active galactic nuclei is investigated. If dark matter consists of stable superheavy neutral particles and active galactic nuclei are rotating black holes, then, due to the Penrose ...
