Adhesion of spherical nanoparticles or virus-like particles to membranes can lead to membrane tubules in which linear chains of adhering particles are cooperatively wrapped by the membrane. This cooperative wrapping of spherical particles i...
Role of hydration effects in driving ion binding to polyelectrolyte brushes and chains: a perspective [0.03%]
溶剂化效应对多电介质刷和链结合离子的驱动作用：展望

We investigate the use of external vibrations to reduce macroscopic friction in pressure-imposed granular flows sheared between bumpy planes, in the absence of gravity, using the discrete element method. We observe that the system becomes s...
In vivo measurements of fascia lata effective mechanics combined to a memory fiber-recruitment-viscoelastic modeling approach [0.03%]
