Understanding the complexity of fragmentation processes is essential for regulating intercellular communication in mechanistic biology and developing novel bottom-up approaches in a large range of multiphase flow processes. In this context,…

Controlling anisotropy is a key concept to generate complex functionality in advanced materials. For this, oriented attachment of nanocrystal building blocks, a self assembly of particles into larger single crystalline objects, is one of…

We investigate the physics of ultracold dipolar molecules using path-integral quantum Monte Carlo simulations, and construct the complete phase diagram extending from weak to strong interactions and from small to mesoscopic particle…

Janus particles are special types of nano or micro particles possessing at least two surfaces with distinct physical or chemical properties. The most studied Janus particles are the metal-dielectric particles, in which half surface of…

I present exact expressions for the interior gravitational potential V of a system of N concentric constant-density (Maclaurin) spheroids. I demonstrate an iteration procedure to find a self-consistent solution for the shapes of the…

Many biological, culinary, and engineering processes lead to the co-encapsulation of several soft particles within a liquid interface. In these situations the particles are bound together by the capillary forces that deform them and…

We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of a model of a single maghemite ferrimagnetic nanoparticle with the aim to clarify the role played by the increased anisotropy at the surface and by the shape (spherical or elliptical) of…

We systematically investigate the self-assembly of anisotropic cone-shaped particles decorated by ring-like attractive patches. We demonstrate that the self-assembled clusters, which arise due to the conical particle's anisotropic shape…

Entropic forces in colloidal suspensions and in polymer-colloid systems are of long-standing and continuing interest. Experiments show how entropic forces can be used to control the self-assembly of colloidal particles. Significant advances…

Ultrasound contrast agents have been recently utilized in therapeutical implementations for targeted delivery of pharmaceutical substances. Radial pulsations of a cluster of encapsulated microbubbles under the action of an ultrasound field…

We perform numerical simulations to study self-assembly of nanoparticles mediated by an elastic planar surface. We show how the nontrivial elastic response to deformations of these surfaces leads to anisotropic interactions between the…

More and more materials, with a growing variety of properties, are built into electronic devices. This is motivated both by increased device performance and by the studies of materials themselves. An important type of device is a Josephson…

Phagocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis are vitally important particle uptake mechanisms in many cell types, ranging from single-cell organisms to immune cells. In both processes, engulfment by the cell depends critically on both…

Entanglement entropy under a particle bipartition provides complementary information to mode entanglement as it is sensitive to interactions and particle statistics at leading order and does not depend on any externally imposed length…

We model a macromolecule as an infinitely long Gaussian semi-flexible polymer chain and the conformations of the chain were realized in the nano cube using a cubic lattice. A modified version of the recursion relations is used to calculate…

The plasmonic response of nanoparticles is exploited in many subfields of science and engineering to enhance optical signals associated with probes of nanoscale and subnanoscale entities. We develop a numerical algorithm based on previous…

We present a density functional study of Lennard-Jones liquids in contact with a nano-corrugated wall. The corresponding substrate potential is taken to exhibit a repulsive hard core and a van der Waals attraction. The corrugation is…

The interactions of autonomous microswimmers play an important role for the formation of collective states of motile active matter. We study them in detail for the common microswimmer-design of two-faced Janus spheres with hemispheres made…

In this work we use Monte Carlo simulations to study the phase behavior of spherical caps confined between two parallel hard walls separated by a distance H. The particle model consists of a hard sphere of diameter \sigma cut off by a plane…

Manipulation of micro/nano particles has been well studied and demonstrated by optical, electromagnetic, and acoustic approaches, or their combinations. Manipulation of internal structure of droplet/particle is rarely explored and remains…
