Colloidal dispersions exhibit rich equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamic properties,
self-assemble into diverse structures at different length scales, and display transport …

Diffusive transport of particles or, more generally, small objects, is a ubiquitous feature of
physical and chemical reaction systems. In configurations containing confining walls or …

We study the diffusive behavior of colloidal particles which are confined to one-dimensional
channels generated by scanning optical tweezers. At long times t, the mean-square …

Named after the two-faced roman god, Janus particles have gained much attention due to
their potential in a variety of applications, including drug delivery. This is the first book …

In recent years, applications and experimental studies of DNA in nanochannels have
stimulated the investigation of the polymer physics of DNA in confinement. Recent advances …

We study the correlated Brownian motion of micron-sized particles suspended in water and
confined between two plates. The hydrodynamic interaction between the particles exhibits …

We report an experimental study of diffusion in a quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) colloid
suspension which behaves like a Tonks gas. The mean squared displacement as a function …

Red blood cells flowing through capillaries assume a wide variety of different shapes owing
to their high deformability. Predicting the realized shapes is a complex field as they are …

We review non-equilibrium many-body phenomena in ensembles of 2D microfluidic
droplets. The system comprises of continuous two-phase flow with disc-shaped droplets …
