Linear Instability of Turbulent Channel Flow br
Laminar-turbulent pattern formation is a distinctive feature of the intermittency regime in subcriticalplane shear flows. By performing extensive numerical simulations of the plane channel flow, we show thatthe pattern emerges from a spatial (...)

Molecular Computation for Molecular Classification
DNA as an informational polymer has, for the past 30 years, progressively become an essential molecule to rationally build chemical reaction networks endowed with powerful signal-processing capabilities. Whether influenced by the silicon world (...)

Microscopic foundation of the mu(I) rheology for dense granular flows on inclined planes
Macroscopic and microscopic properties of dense granular layers flowing down inclined planes are obtained from Discrete-Element-Method simulations for both frictionless and frictional grains. Three fundamental observations for dense granular (...)

Cross-sections of doubly curved sheets as confined elastica
Although thin films are typically manufactured in planar sheets or rolls, they are often forced into three-dimensional (3D) shapes, producing a plethora of structures across multiple length scales. To understand this complex response, previous (...)

Nanoparticle Taylor Dispersion Near Charged Surfaces with an Open Boundary
The dispersive spreading of microscopic particles in shear flows is influenced both by advection and thermal motion. At the nanoscale, interactions between such particles and their confining boundaries become unavoidable. We address the roles (...)

Nonlinear decision-making with enzymatic neural networks
>Artificial neural networks have revolutionized electronic computing. Similarly, molecular networks with neuromorphic architectures may enable molecular decision-making on a level comparable to gene regulatory networks1,2. Non-enzymatic (...)

Elastohydrodynamic Relaxation of Soft and Deformable Microchannels
Hydrodynamic flows in compliant channels are of great interest in physiology and microfluidics. In these situations, elastohydrodynamic coupling leads to (i) a nonlinear pressure-vs-flow-rate relation, strongly affecting the hydraulic (...)

Polymer-chain configurations in active and passive baths
The configurations taken by polymers embedded in out-of-equilibrium baths may have broad implications in a variety of biological systems. As such, they have attracted considerable interest, particularly in simulation studies. Here we analyze (...)

Analytical cell size distribution: lineage-population bias and parameter inference
We derive analytical steady-state cell size distributions for size-controlled cells in single-lineage experiments, such as the mother machine, which are fundamentally different from batch cultures where populations of cells grow freely. For (...)

A deep artificial neural network powered by enzymes
Molecular networks have been developed that can classify complex mixtures of DNA sequences that cannot be categorized by a single linear classifier. To do this, artificial ’neurons’ powered by enzymes are wired together to form an architecture (...)
