111 years of Brownian motion

X Bian, C Kim, GE Karniadakis - Soft Matter, 2016 - pubs.rsc.org
We consider the Brownian motion of a particle and present a tutorial review over the last 111
years since Einstein's paper in 1905. We describe Einstein's model, Langevin's model and …

Mechanical slowing down of network-forming phase separation of polymer solutions

J Yuan, M Tateno, H Tanaka - ACS nano, 2023 - ACS Publications
Phase separation is a fundamental phenomenon leading to spatially heterogeneous
material distribution, which is critical in nature, biology, material science, and industry. In …

Power-law coarsening in network-forming phase separation governed by mechanical relaxation

M Tateno, H Tanaka - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
A space-spanning network structure is a basic morphology in phase separation of soft and
biomatter, alongside a droplet one. Despite its fundamental and industrial importance, the …
