Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an important mechanism that helps explain the
membraneless compartmentalization of the nucleus. Because chromatin compaction and …

This article reviews recent progress in the computer simulation of liquid crystals at the
molecular level. It covers the use of simple rigid-body models of the constituent molecules …

Patchy particles is the name given to a large class of systems of mesoscopic particles
characterized by a repulsive core and a discrete number of short-range and highly …

Populations of swimming micro-organisms produce fluid motions that lead to dramatically
enhanced diffusion of tracer particles. Using simulations of suspensions of swimming …

Low Reynolds number direct simulations of large populations of hydrodynamically
interacting swimming particles confined between planar walls are performed. The results of …

During the last decade coarse-grained nucleotide models have emerged that allow us to
study DNA and RNA on unprecedented time and length scales. Among them is oxDNA, a …

The essential functions required for mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome biorientation
and segregation are not fully understood, despite extensive study. To illuminate the …

We study by means of virtual molecular dynamics computer experiments the response of a
bulk biaxial nematic to an applied external field and, in particular, the relative speed of …

We derive a systematic and general method for parameterizing coarse-grained molecular
models consisting of anisotropic particles from fine-grained (eg, all-atom) models for …

The aggregation of liquid crystal nanodroplets from a homogeneous solution is studied by
molecular dynamics simulations. The liquid crystal particles are modeled as elongated …
