Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Alexander J. Dear, L. Mahadevan, , , | Summary: Singular perturbation theory plays a central role in the approximate solution of nonlinear differential equations. However, applying these methods is a subtle art owing to the lack of globally applicable algorithms. Inspired by the fact that all exact […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Petur Bryde, Ian C. Davenport, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Kiiking is an extreme sport in which athletes alternate between standing and squatting to pump a standing swing till it is inverted and completes a rotation. A minimal model of the sport may be cast in terms […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert J. Wood | First 5 Authors: Alaa Maalouf, Ninad Jadhav, Krishna Murthy Jatavallabhula, Makram Chahine, Daniel M. Vogt | Summary: Tracking and following objects of interest is critical to several robotics use cases, ranging from industrial automation to logistics and warehousing, to healthcare and security. In this paper, we present a robotic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Xiaoxiao Ding, Vanessa Sanchez, Katia Bertoldi, Chris H. Rycroft, | Summary: Knitting interloops one-dimensional yarns into three-dimensional fabrics that exhibit behaviours beyond their constitutive materials. How extensibility and anisotropy emerge from the hierarchical organization of yarns into knitted fabrics has long been unresolved. We sought to unravel […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Wencheng Ji, Ori Hachmo, Naama Barkai, Ariel Amir, | Summary: Transcription Factors (TFs) are proteins that regulate gene expression. The regulation mechanism is via the binding of a TF to a specific part of the gene associated with it, the TF’s target. For the regulation to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Wencheng Ji, Ori Hachmo, Naama Barkai, Ariel Amir, | Summary: Transcription Factors (TFs) are proteins crucial for regulating gene expression. Effective regulation requires the TFs to rapidly bind to the correct target, enabling the cell to respond timely to various stimuli such as nutrient availability or toxin […]

Manoharan | Summary: Self-assembly is a vital part of the life cycle of certain icosahedral RNA viruses. Furthermore, the assembly process can be harnessed to make icosahedral virus-like particles (VLPs) from coat protein and […]
