  1. 2696. Anomalous, caged and obstructed diffusion as seen through the lens of inverted variable-lengthscale fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

    The diffusion of macromolecules in cells and in complex fluids is often found to deviate from simple Fickian diffusion, and to have a strong dependence on lengthscale. Yet protein diffusion measurements usually only probe a narrow range of lengthscales. To circumvent this issue, we use variable-lengthscale fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (VLS-FCS), where the size of the volume of...

    One of the basic characteristics of linear dsDNA molecules is its persistence length, typically of order 50 nanometers. The DNA chain inflicts a large energy penalty if it is bent sharply at that length scale. Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophage, typically have a dimension of a few tens of nanometers, of similar order of the magnitude as the DNA persistence length. Yet, it is known...

  3. 2584. Statistical physics of a driven nanocolloid coupled to a fluid heat bath

    Stochastic thermodynamics of mesoscale systems has been extensively studied using a dragged colloidal particle in a trap as a model system. The colloid is assumed to be a massive Brownian particle that undergoes stochastic motion governed by a Langevin-type equation. The Langevin description of the colloidal motion however completely ignores the hydrodynamic coupling of the colloid to the heat...

  4. 2604. Machine Learning as a Tool to Study Soft Matter in Confinement

    With the advent of robust nanoscale fabrication, the study of soft matter has become intertwined with nano- and microfluidic device design. Applications range from building nanoscale devices with which to isolate single biomolecules, to studying colloidal particles in nano- to microchannels. Modeling and simulation of soft matter have followed this shift and have become powerful tools both for...
