Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

We focus on the dynamical aspects of wetting phenomena on the nanoscale for which bulk
hydrodynamic equations become invalid. At the nanoscale, phenomena that are irrelevant …

Microrheology was proposed almost twenty years ago as a technique to obtain rheological
properties in soft matter from the microscopic motion of colloidal tracers used as probes …

Colloidal dispersions are commonly encountered in everyday life and represent an
important class of complex fluid. Of particular significance for many commercial products and …

Spinning objects moving through air or a liquid experience a lift force—a phenomenon
known as the Magnus effect. This effect is commonly exploited in ball sports but also is of …

We describe a test particle approach based on dynamical density functional theory (DDFT)
for studying the correlated time evolution of the particles that constitute a fluid. Our theory …

This review overviews common biopolymer modelling approaches ranging from chemically
specific to highly coarse-grained techniques, along with their application ranges, strengths …

A colloidal particle is a prominent example of a stochastic system, and, if suspended in a
simple viscous liquid, very closely resembles the case of an ideal random walker. A variety …

Microswimmers typically operate in complex environments. In biological systems, often
diverse species are simultaneously present and interact with each other. Here, we derive a …
