  Nonlocal Dielectric Properties of Water: The Role of Electronic Delocalization

  The nonlocal dielectric properties of liquid water are studied in the context of ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations based on the density functional theory. We calculate the dielectric response from the charge structure factor of (...)

  Stokes flows in three-dimensional fluids with odd and parity-violating viscosities – CORRIGENDUM

  The following corrections should be made to the paper Khain et al. (Reference Khain, Scheibner, Fruchart and Vitelli2022). The conclusions of the paper are not affected. «Journal Of Fluid Mechanics» BY: Tali Khain, Colin Scheibner, Michel (...)

  Sociohydrodynamics: Data-driven modeling of social behavior

  Living systems display complex behaviors driven by physical forces as well as decision-making. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified universal descriptions of socially generated collective behaviors. However, the construction of (...)

  Active elastic solids : collective motion, collective actuation & polarization

  Active solids consist of elastically coupled out-of-equilibrium units performing work. They are central to autonomous processes in biological systems, e.g. locomotion, self-oscillations and morphogenesis. Moreover, their shape-preserving (...)

  Learning general pair interactions between self-propelled particles

  Synthetic active matter systems, such as active colloids, often have complex interactions, which can be of hydrodynamic, chemical or electrostatic origin and cannot be computed from first principles. Here, we use Stochastic Force Inference to (...)

  Reactive mixing enables enzymatic depolymerization of recalcitrant or unsortable polyester wastes

  Enzyme-catalyzed depolymerization allows efficient recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles, which are easy to sort and made of slowly crystallizing PET. However, because crystalline phases are recalcitrant to enzymatic (...)

  Digital PCR: from early developments to its future application in clinics

  Digital PCR (dPCR) is the third generation of PCR technology, after conventional PCR and real-time quantitative PCR. It is based on the partitioning of a PCR mixture supplemented with the sample to analyse into a large number of parallel (...)

  Compartmentalized Suspension Array for the Isothermal, Digital, and Multiplex Detection of microRNAs

  The sensitive and accurate detection of panels of microRNA molecules is critical to enable their use as disease biomarkers. While microarrays and next-generation sequencing allow comprehensive miRNA profiling, they generally suffer from low (...)

  Tuning the size of poly(butylene oxide) nanoparticles by microfluidic-assisted nanoprecipitation

  Microfluidic-assisted nanoprecipitation provides precise control over formulation conditions, enabling for the design of nanoparticles with highly tunable properties. This study explores the influence of channel geometry, flow dynamics, and (...)

  Droplet-on-demand using a positive pressure pulse

  Droplet generation under steady conditions is a common microfluidic method for producing biphasic systems. However, this process works only over a limited range of imposed pressure: beyond a critical value, a stable liquid jet can instead form. (...)
