Journal ArticleDOI

Adhesion of vesicles in two dimensions.

TL;DR: The adhesion of vesicles in two dimensions is studied by solving the shape equations that determine the state of lowest energy by exploiting fluctuations of their position, while large vesicle unbind via shape fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperviscous diblock copolymer vesicles

TL;DR: Giant vesicles prepared from the diblock copolymer polybutadien-b-polyethyleneoxide (PB-PEO) exhibit a shear surface viscosity, which is about 500 times higher than those found in common phospholipid bilayers, and this result constitutes the first direct measurement of the shear Surface Viscosity of such polymersomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cost and Precision of Brownian Clocks

TL;DR: It is shown that a clock driven by a periodic variation of an external protocol can achieve arbitrary precision at arbitrarily low cost, which constitutes a fundamental difference between processesdriven by a fixed thermodynamic force and those driven periodically.
Journal ArticleDOI

Universal Coherence-Induced Power Losses of Quantum Heat Engines in Linear Response.

TL;DR: General upper bounds on both the coherent and the total power of cyclic heat engines are derived, implying that, for sufficiently slow driving, coherence inevitably leads to power losses in the linear-response regime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Universal bound on the efficiency of molecular motors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the thermodynamic uncertainty relation to a general model of a molecular motor running against an external force or torque, and show that the Stokes efficiency of such motors is universally bounded.
