Cooperation in binary mixtures of active colloids

The complex interactions underlying collective motion in biological systems give rise to emergent behaviors such as flocking, sorting, and cooperative transport. These dynamics often involve species with different motilities coordinating movement to optimize navigation and surviv...

Structure andRheology of DPPC–CholesterolMonolayers

Abstract Lipids are key components of biological interfaces and are constantly subjected to external stress and shear flow. In this work, we focus on DPPC–cholesterol monolayers at water–air interfaces and study their response to compression and shear. The choice of lipids is mot...
