Microrheology, advances in methods and insights

Q Xia, H Xiao, Y Pan, L Wang - Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2018 - Elsevier
Microrheology is an emerging technique that probes mechanical response of soft material at
micro-scale. Generally, microrheology technique can be divided into active and passive …

Nonreciprocal response of a two-dimensional fluid with odd viscosity

Y Hosaka, S Komura, D Andelman - Physical review E, 2021 - APS
We discuss the linear hydrodynamic response of a two-dimensional active chiral
compressible fluid with odd viscosity. The viscosity coefficient represents broken time …

Hydrodynamic lift of a two-dimensional liquid domain with odd viscosity

Y Hosaka, S Komura, D Andelman - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We discuss hydrodynamic forces acting on a two-dimensional liquid domain that moves
laterally within a supported fluid membrane in the presence of odd viscosity. Since active …

Statistical formulation of the Onsager-Machlup variational principle

K Yasuda, K Ishimoto, S Komura - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Onsager's variational principle provides us with a systematic way to derive dynamical
equations for various soft matter and active matter. By reformulating the Onsager-Machlup …

Mechanochemical enzymes and protein machines as hydrodynamic force dipoles: the active dimer model

Y Hosaka, S Komura, AS Mikhailov - Soft Matter, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Mechanochemically active enzymes change their shapes within every turnover cycle.
Therefore, they induce circulating flows in the solvent around them and behave as …

Dynamic coupling at low Reynolds number

KK Dey - Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Collective and emergent behaviors of active colloids provide useful insights into the
statistical physics of out‐of‐equilibrium systems. Colloidal suspensions containing …

Active gels, heavy tails, and the cytoskeleton

DW Swartz, BA Camley - Soft Matter, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
The eukaryotic cell's cytoskeleton is a prototypical example of an active material: objects
embedded within it are driven by molecular motors acting on the cytoskeleton, leading to …

Lateral diffusion induced by active proteins in a biomembrane

Y Hosaka, K Yasuda, R Okamoto, S Komura - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
We discuss the hydrodynamic collective effects due to active protein molecules that are
immersed in lipid bilayer membranes and modeled as stochastic force dipoles. We …
