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 ...

Practical applications of small-angle neutron scattering. [PDF]
Recent improvements in beam-line accessibility and technology have led to small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) becoming more frequently applied to materials problems.

Compartmentalization of gold nanoparticle clusters in hollow silica spheres and their assembly induced by an external electric field [PDF]
Assembly of plasmonic nanoparticle clusters having hotspots in a specific space is an effective way to efficiently utilize their plasmonic properties. In the assembly, however, bulk-like aggregates of the nanoparticles are readily formed by strong van ...

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 ...

Multivalent Patchy Colloids for Quantitative 3D Self-Assembly Studies. [PDF]
We report methods to synthesize sub-micron- and micron-sized patchy silica particles with fluorescently labeled hemispherical titania protrusions, as well as routes to efficiently characterize these particles and self-assemble these particles into non ...

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 ...

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.

Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

Properties of Supersymmetric Integrable Systems of KP Type
The recently proposed supersymmetric extensions of reduced Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) integrable hierarchies in $N =1,2$ superspace are shown to contain in the purely bosonic limit new types of ordinary non-supersymmetric integrable systems.
