A model for the motion of ring-shaped DNA in a gel is introduced and studied by numerical simulations and a mean-field approximation. The ring motion is mediated by finger-shaped loops (hernias) that move in an amoeba-like fashion around…

Heat transfer in fractured media is governed by the interplay between advective transport along rough-walled fractures and conductive transport, both within the fractures and in the surrounding low-permeability matrix. Flow localization…

Many cell types display random motility on two-dimensional substrates, but crawl persistently in a single direction when confined in a microchannel or on an adhesive micropattern. Does this imply that the motility mechanism of confined…
