Hydrodynamics of soft active matter

TL;DR: This review summarizes theoretical progress in the field of active matter, placing it in the context of recent experiments, and highlights the experimental relevance of various semimicroscopic derivations of the continuum theory for describing bacterial swarms and suspensions, the cytoskeleton of living cells, and vibrated granular material.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model for contact angle hysteresis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the behavior of a liquid partially wetting a solid surface, when the contact angle at equilibrium θ 0 is small, but finite, and show that there may exist two stable positions for the line, obtained by a simple graphic construction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast DNA Translocation through a Solid-State Nanopore

TL;DR: A theoretical model where hydrodynamic drag on the ection of the polymer outside the pore is the dominant force counteracting the electrical driving force is presented, and a power-law scaling with an exponent of 1.22 is derived in good agreement with the data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active gel physics

TL;DR: Active gel physics as discussed by the authors is a field that has emerged in recent years to fill this gap and is underpinned by a theory that takes into account the transduction of chemical energy on the molecular scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asters, vortices, and rotating spirals in active gels of polar filaments.

TL;DR: A general theory for active viscoelastic materials made of polar filaments, which applies to any polar system with internal energy consumption such as active chemical gels and cytoskeletal networks which are set in motion by active processes at work in cells.
