In microrheology, the local and bulk mechanical properties of a complex fluid are extracted
from the motion of probe particles embedded within it. In passive microrheology, particles …

Microrheology was proposed almost twenty years ago as a technique to obtain rheological
properties in soft matter from the microscopic motion of colloidal tracers used as probes …

We study via theory and dynamical simulation the evolving structure, particle dynamics, and
time-dependent rheological properties of an aging colloidal gel, with a focus on the micro …

Microrheological study of complex fluids traces its roots to the work of the botanist Robert
Brown in the early nineteenth century. Indeed, passive microrheology and Brownian motion …

The microrheology of a colloidal suspension is measured using laser tweezers.
Suspensions of refractive index-matched fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) particles are …

The rheology of biological tissue plays an important role in many processes, from organ
formation to cancer invasion. Here, we use a multiphase field model of motile cells to …

We study the linear response rheology, structure, and dynamics of colloidal gels formed by
arrested phase separation with a combination of experiments and dynamic simulation, with …

Using the method of Brownian dynamics, we investigate the dynamic properties of a 2d
suspension of active disks at high Péclet numbers using active microrheology. In our …

The single-point active nonlinear microrheology of a colloidal suspension is measured using
laser tweezers in the limit that the diameter of the probe particle approaches the diameter of …

In active, nonlinear microrheology, a Brownian “probe” particle is driven through a complex
fluid and its motion tracked in order to infer the mechanical properties of the embedding …
