We extend a previous analysis of the buckling properties of a linear chain of hard spheres between hard walls under transverse harmonic confinement. Two regimes… Read More »Buckling of a linear chain of hard spheres
Previously we reported on the stable (i.e. minimal enthalpy) structures of soft monodisperse spheres in a long cylindrical channel. Here, we present further simulations, which… Read More »Columnar structures of soft spheres: metastability and hysteresis
There is a growing interest in cylindrical structures of hard and soft particles. A promising new method to assemble such structures has recently been introduced… Read More »Theory of rotational columnar structures of soft spheres
Recently a novel type of epithelial cell has been discovered and dubbed the “scutoid”. It is induced by curvature of the bounding surfaces. We show… Read More »Demonstration and interpretation of “scutoid” cells in a quasi-2D soap froth
