In this review, we provide a theoretical introduction to Jeffery's equations for the orientation
dynamics of an axisymmetric object in a flow at low Reynolds number, and review recent …

Hydrodynamic forces from moving fluids can be utilized to remove contaminants which is an
ideal fouling‐release strategy for underwater surfaces. However, the hydrodynamic forces in …

Hydrodynamics of slender flexible filaments plays an important role in biology, human
physiology, locomotion of organisms, as well as biomedical devices. It is, therefore …

The cell nucleus is enveloped by a complex membrane, whose wrinkling has been
implicated in disease and cellular aging. The biophysical dynamics and spectral evolution of …

The convective transport rate of polymers through confined geometries depends on their
size, allowing for size-based separation of polymer mixtures (chromatography). Here, we …

We present a numerical study of the dynamics of an elastic fibre in a shear flow at low
Reynolds number, and seek to understand several aspects of the fibre's motion using the …

We study an intriguing new type of self-assembled active colloidal polymer system in 3D. It is
obtained from a suspension of Janus particles in an electric field that induces parallel …

There are many fields where it is of interest to measure the elastic moduli of tiny fragile
fibers, such as filamentous bacteria, actin filaments, DNA, carbon nanotubes, and functional …

Oxide nanosprings have attracted many research interests because of their anticorrosion,
high‐temperature tolerance, oxidation resistance, and enhanced‐mechanic‐response from …

Naturally derived colloidal rods (CR) are promising building blocks for develo**
sustainable soft materials. Engineering new materials based on naturally derived CR …
