Cardiac tissue and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction provide two notable examples of excitable media that support scroll waves, in which a filament core is the source of spiral waves of excitation. Here we consider a novel topological configuration i... Read More about Threaded Rings that Swim in Excitable Media.

The Bar-Hinge Motor: A synthetic protein design exploiting conformational switching to achieve directional motility (2019)
Journal Article
Small, L., Zuckermann, M., Sessions, R., Curmi, P., Linke, H., Forde, N., & Bromley, E. (2019). The Bar-Hinge Motor: A synthetic protein design exploiting conformational switching to achieve directional motility. New Journal of Physics, 21, Article 013002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/aaf3ca

One challenge to synthetic biology is to design functional machines from natural building blocks, from individual amino acids up to larger motifs such as the coiled coil. Here we investigate a novel bipedal motor concept, the Bar-Hinge Motor (BHM), a...
