Phase Transitions02:31

Phase Transitions

19.2K
Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

Cells Coordinate Growth and Proliferation02:36

Cells Coordinate Growth and Proliferation

4.5K
Cell size is a significant factor impacting cellular design, function, and fitness. There exists some internal coordination by which cells double their masses before division, thus, achieving homeostasis. Coordination between cell growth and proliferation depends on the checkpoints in between cell cycle phases. Loss of coordination or failure in the checkpoint mechanism can drive the cell to uncontrolled growth and loss of cellular function. Like dividing cells that coordinate cellular growth,...

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

17.2K
Some solids can transition directly into the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state, via a process known as sublimation. At room temperature and standard pressure, a piece of dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes, appearing to gradually disappear without ever forming any liquid. Snow and ice sublimate at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes...

Colloids and Suspensions

1.9K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues01:19

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

2.1K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Overview Of Cell Separation And Isolation01:20

Overview Of Cell Separation And Isolation

5.7K
Cell separation was first achieved in 1964 by S. H. Seal, who separated large tumor cells from the smaller blood cells using filtration. Two years later, Pohl and Hawk performed experiments on how cells respond differently to a nonuniform electric field based on the cell type. Such observations were the inception of cell separation methods, which allow isolating a single cell type from a heterogeneous sample.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical physics
  • Complex systems
  • Computational modeling

Background:

  • Active Brownian particles (ABPs) are self-propelled entities exhibiting complex emergent behaviors.
  • Understanding phase transitions and dynamics in non-equilibrium systems is crucial in statistical physics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the evolution dynamics of continuously moving ABPs using computer simulations.
  • To compare the dynamics of ABPs with the passive 2D Ising model.
  • To analyze far-from-steady-state phenomena, including aging and scaling behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing computer simulations to model systems of active Brownian particles.
  • Performing sudden quenches from random configurations to critical points and miscibility gaps.
  • Calculating structural quantities and characteristic length scales.
  • Analyzing the two-time order-parameter correlation function for aging studies.

Main Results:

  • The structure and dynamics of ABPs are found to be consistent with expectations from the 2D Ising model.
  • Quantitative analysis of aging behavior and scaling laws in the miscibility gap.
  • Results for active lattice models at critical points also align with Ising model predictions.

Conclusions:

  • Active Brownian particle systems share similarities in their phase transition and dynamic behaviors with the passive 2D Ising model.
  • The study provides a quantitative understanding of far-from-steady-state dynamics and aging in these active systems.
