Thermal skyrmion diffusion used in a reshuffler device

J Zázvorka, F Jakobs, D Heinze, N Keil… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Magnetic skyrmions in thin films can be efficiently displaced with high speed by using spin-

A pH-driven transition of the cytoplasm from a fluid-to a solid-like state promotes entry into dormancy

MC Munder, D Midtvedt, T Franzmann, E Nuske, O Otto… - elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org
Cells can enter into a dormant state when faced with unfavorable conditions. However, how
cells enter into and recover from this state is still poorly understood. Here, we study …

Ergodic and nonergodic processes coexist in the plasma membrane as observed by single-molecule tracking

AV Weigel, B Simon, MM Tamkun… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Diffusion in the plasma membrane of living cells is often found to display anomalous
dynamics. However, the mechanism underlying this diffusion pattern remains highly …

Intermittent search strategies

O Bénichou, C Loverdo, M Moreau, R Voituriez - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
This review examines intermittent target search strategies, which combine phases of slow
motion, allowing the searcher to detect the target, and phases of fast motion during which …
