Stability of Quasicrystals Composed of Soft Isotropic Particles

, 2011
Quasicrystals whose building blocks are of mesoscopic rather than atomic scale have recently been discovered in several soft-matter systems. Contrary to metallurgic quasicrystals whose source of stability remains a question of great debate to this day ...

Prospects for the direct detection of neutralino dark matter in orbifold scenarios [PDF]

, 2007
We analyse the phenomenology of orbifold scenarios from the heterotic superstring, and the resulting theoretical predictions for the direct detection of neutralino dark matter. In particular, we study the parameter space of these constructions, computing

Dynamic light scattering for particle characterization subjected to ultrasound: a study on compact particles and acousto-responsive microgels

Scientific Reports
In this report, we investigate dynamic light scattering (DLS) from both randomly diffusing silica particles and acousto-responsive microgels in aqueous dispersions under ultrasonic vibration.

General phase-structure relationship in polar rod-shaped liquid crystals: Importance of shape anisotropy and dipolar strength

Giant, 2022
Ferroelectricity is a property with spontaneous polarization, which is of paramount importance in modern electrooptic applications. Yet, its observations are mostly limited to solids or chiral smectic C liquid crystals with nearly no fluidity.

Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress. [PDF]

Soft Matter, 2019
Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experimentally by letting soft tubes grow in the presence or absence of initial ...

Using a Supramolecular Approach to Engineer Modular Hydrogel Platforms for Culturing Protoplasts – from General Tissue Engineering to Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

Two energy barriers and a transient intermediate state determine the unfolding and folding dynamics of cold shock protein

Communications Chemistry, 2021
Force-dependent transitions can provide insights into the free-energy landscape of proteins. Here, the authors observe the folding and unfolding dynamics of the model protein Csp using magnetic tweezers, from which a free-energy landscape with two energy

Some Phenomenology of Intersecting D-Brane Models

, 2004
We present some phenomenology of a new class of intersecting D-brane models. Soft SUSY breaking terms for these models are calculated in the u - moduli dominant SUSY breaking approach (in type IIA).
