Controlling assembly and oscillations of elastic membranes with an active fluid

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Bowick | First 5 Authors: John Berezney, Sattvic Ray, Itamar Kolvin, Mark Bowick, Seth Fraden | Summary: We use the chaotic flows generated by a microtubule-based active fluid to assemble self-binding actin filaments into a thin elastic sheets. Starting from a uniformly dispersed state, active flows drive the motion of actin filaments, […]

Shocking and Mass Loss of Compact Donor Stars in Type Ia Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Tin Long Sunny Wong, Christopher White, Lars Bildsten, , | Summary: Type Ia supernovae arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion. Following the explosion, the surviving donor star leaves at roughly its orbital velocity. The discovery of the runaway helium subdwarf star […]

Temporal Residual Jacobians For Rig-free Motion Transfer

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Sanjeev Muralikrishnan, Niladri Shekhar Dutt, Siddhartha Chaudhuri, Noam Aigerman, Vladimir Kim | Summary: We introduce Temporal Residual Jacobians as a novel representation to enable data-driven motion transfer. Our approach does not assume access to any rigging or intermediate shape keyframes, produces geometrically and temporally consistent motions, and […]
