Confinement-driven emergence of hyperuniform fluids
Controlling emergent structural order in spatially constrained systems is a fundamental challenge. Using large-scale simulations of a model fluid at equilibrium conditions, we show that geometric confinement alone can ...
Efficient parallel algorithms for free-energy calculation of millions of water molecules in the fluid phases
Simulating water droplets made up of millions of molecules and on timescales as needed in biological and technological applications is challenging due to the difficulty of balancing accuracy with computational capabilities. ...
Adsorption of wastewater pollutants on amorphous TiO2: an atomistic simulation study
The increasing presence of polluting chemicals in man-made wastewater poses significant environmental and health risks. Advanced oxidation processes, particularly those involving photocatalytic materials like titanium ...
Small-angle X-ray scattering unveils the internal structure of lipid nanoparticles.
Lipid nanoparticles own a remarkable potential in nanomedicine, only partially disclosed. While the clinical use of liposomes and cationic lipid-nucleic acid complexes is well-established, liquid lipid nanoparticles ...
Unveiling the entropic role of hydration water in SOD1 partitioning within FUS condensate
Biological processes such as the sequestration of Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) into biomolecular condensates, including FUS and stress granules, are vital for understanding disease mechanisms, including amyotrophic lateral ...
Non-linear inhibitory responses enhance performance in collective decision-making
The precise modulation of activity through inhibitory signals ensures that both insect colonies and neural circuits operate efficiently and adaptively, highlighting the fundamental importance of inhibition in biological ...
Computational reconstruction of the LDL-receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) atomistic structure evolution from super-tertiary to quaternary
The blood-brain barrier is a highly complex physiological barrier that separates the blood from the central nervous system to maintain the latter’s biological equilibrium. LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a receptor ...
Non-Reciprocal interactions reshape topological defect annihilation
We show how nonreciprocal ferromagnetic interactions between neighboring planar spins in two dimensions, affect the behavior of topological defects. Nonreciprocity is introduced by weighting the coupling strength of the ...
Activity-driven emulsification of phase-separating binary mixture
Active particles self-assemble into emergent structures that respond sensitively to external constraints. Consequently, their behavior under confinement is complex, especially in soft confined media, leading to diverse ...
Activity leads to topological phase transition in 2D populations of heterogeneous oscillators
Populations of heterogeneous, noisy oscillators on a two-dimensional lattice display short-range order. Here, we show that if the oscillators are allowed to actively move in space, the system undergoes instead a ...
Editorial: Nonequilibrium multiphase and reactive flows in porous and granular materials
Porous systems that involve the flow of multiple fluids, particles, or solutes, capable of undergoing reactions with each other or with the solid porous matrix, often exist in an out-of-equilibrium state. These systems are ...
Resolving the different bulk moduli within individual soft nanogels using small-angle neutron scattering
The bulk modulus, K, quantifies the elastic response of an object to an isotropic compression. For soft compressible colloids, knowing K is essential to accurately predict the suspension response to crowding. Most colloids ...
Unravel the rotational and translational behavior of a single squirmer in flexible polymer solutionsat different Reynolds numbers
Microorganisms such as bacteria and algae navigate complex fluids, where their dynamics are vital for medical and industrial applications. However, the influence of the Reynolds number (Re) on the transport and rotational ...
Protocol for tailored in vitro neuronal networks on high-density microelectrode arrays with polydimethylsiloxane microstructures
Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-based high-density microelectrode arrays (HD-MEAs) enable neuronal recordings with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, integrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microstructures ...

Unraveling the relevance of graphene-fluid hydrodynamic coupling on the exfoliation of graphitein water
Liquid-phase exfoliation via shear flow is a widely adopted technique for the large-scale production of graphene. However, the underlying nano- and microscale exfoliation mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this work, ...
Multiscale Field Theory for Network Flows
Network flows are pervasive, including the movement of people, transportation of goods, transmission of energy, and dissemination of information; they occur on a range of empirical interconnected systems, from designed ...
Colloidal Model for Investigating Optimal Efficiency in Weakly Coupled Ratchet Motors
We investigate the transport of superparamagnetic colloidal particles along self-assembled tracks using a periodically applied magnetic field as a model for ratchetlike mechanisms. Through video microscopy and simulations, ...
Active wetting of epithelial tissues
Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behaviour of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions. The validity and ...
A transferable molecular model for accurate thermodynamic studies of water in large-scale systems
Water is essential for life, and its unique properties present significant scientific challenges because of our limited understanding of its thermodynamic behavior. This knowledge gap hinders the accurate theoretical ...
