Brownian motion: a paradigm of soft matter and biological physics [PDF]
This is a pedagogical introduction to Brownian motion on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's 1905 paper on the subject. After briefly reviewing Einstein's work in its contemporary context, we pursue some lines of further developments and ...

Design and Construction of a One- Dimensional DNA Track for an Artificial Molecular Motor [PDF]
DNA is a versatile heteropolymer that shows great potential as a building block for a diverse array of nanostructures. We present here a solution to the problem of designing and synthesizing a DNA-based nanostructure that will serve as the track along ...

Theory of activated-rate processes under shear with application to shear-induced aggregation of colloids [PDF]
Using a novel approximation scheme within the convective diffusion (two body Smoluchowski) equation framework, we unveil the shear-driven aggregation mechanism at the origin of structure-formation in sheared colloidal systems.

Diffusion in Stationary Flow from Mesoscopic Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]
We analyze the diffusion of a Brownian particle in a fluid under stationary flow. By using the scheme of non-equilibrium thermodynamics in phase space, we obtain the Fokker-Planck equation which is compared with others derived from kinetic theory and ...

Controlling anomalous stresses in soft field-responsive systems [PDF]
We report a new phenomenon occurring in field-responsive suspensions: shear-induced anomalous stresses. Competition between a rotating field and a shear flow originates a multiplicity of anomalous stress behaviors in suspensions of bounded dimers ...

Shock (Blast) Mitigation by “Soft” Condensed Matter [PDF]
ABSTRACTIt is a common point that “soft” condensed matter (like granular materials or foams) can reduce damage caused by impact or explosion. It is attributed to their ability to absorb significant energy. This is certainly the case for quasistatic type of deformation at low velocity of impact widely used for packing of fragile devices.

CP_N Solitons in Quantum Hall Systems
We will present here an elementary pedagogical introduction to $CP_N$ solitons in quantum Hall systems. We begin with a brief introduction to both $CP_N$ models and to quantum Hall (QH) physics.

This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion
