Understanding how molecular features dictate the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers into well-defined nanostructures is essential for the rational design of advanced soft materials. However, the large number of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-based high-density microelectrode arrays (HD-MEAs) enable neuronal recordings with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, integrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microstructures ...
This Research Topic of Frontiers in Nanotechnology celebrates the achievements of emerging leaders driving innovation in the broad field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The diverse articles in this Research Topic reflect ...
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, ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
To enhance the portability of Lab-on-a-Chip technology, avoiding bulky electronic flow control systems is crucial. Self-powered microfluidics can significantly improve portability by eliminating the need for electronic ...
An incorrect Funding statement was provided. The correct funding statement reads: C. Valeriani acknowledges fundings from MINECO PID2019-105343GB-I00 and EUR2021-122001 by MCIN/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 and FEDER, UE. I. ...
Cell therapy is a therapeutic avenue for retinal degenerative diseases. Photoreceptortransplantation faces challenges in obtaining high-quality and mature photoreceptors that caneffectively integrate and function, facilitating ...
Background Implant-supported hybrid metal–resin prostheses are widely used to rehabilitate edentulous patients. However, fractures of the veneering resin and screw complications remain common mechanical failures. Advances ...
The reliability of infrared (IR) imaging is strongly dependent on the surface emissivity of the investigated object. Achieving near-unity emissivity is essential to IR measurement accuracy. To meet this requirement, black ...
We combine colloidal self-assembly and soft-lithography techniques to realize flexible magnetic microcrosses that can be manipulated via external, time dependent magnetic fields. The crosses are characterized by a central ...
