The Physics of Self-Rolling Viruses

Friday 17 February 2023, by mcube

Pedro A. Soria Ruiz, Falko Ziebert, and Igor M. Kulić Phys. Rev. E 105, 054411
Viruses are right at the interface of inanimate matter and life. However, recent experiments [T. Sakai, et al., J. Virol. \bf 92, e01522-17 (2018)] have shown that some influenza strains can actively roll on glycan-covered surfaces. In a previous letter [F. Ziebert (...)

Eulalie Lafarge, Pore formation in oxidized lipid membranes (2022)

Thursday 24 November 2022, by mcube

Supervisors: Carlos Marques, André Schroder, Pierre Muller
Biological cell membranes are mainly composed of lipids assembling into impermeable bilayer preventing the translocation of numerous molecules inside of the cell. Electroporation is a recently developed technic used in therapy to insert drugs or gene inside a cell in order to increase (...)

Perturbing the catenoid: Stability and mechanical properties of nonaxisymmetric minimal surfaces

Wednesday 17 August 2022, by mcube

Friedrich Walzel, Alice Requier, Kevin Boschi, Jean Farago, Philippe Fuchs, Fabrice Thalmann, Wiebke Drenckhan, Pierre Muller, and Thierry Charitat Phys. Rev. E 106, 014803
Minimal surface problems arise naturally in many soft matter systems whose free energies are dominated by surface or interface energies. Of particular interest are the (...)
