Abstract: Capillary thinning of polymeric fluids is central to biological and industrial processes, yet the mechanisms governing thinning dynamics remain unresolved, especially for semi-flexible polymers. Using ideal solutions of semi-flexible DNA, we validate a phenomenological model… read more here.

Abstract: Recent studies on semi-dilute Calf-Thymus DNA (CT-DNA) solutions have revealed the presence of birefringence and small-scale textures influenced by shear and ionic strength. In this study, we investigate these phenomena on the same solutions to… read more here.
