Open AccessAnalysis of Vibrio cholerae genomes identifies new type VI secretion system gene clusters
Like many bacteria, Vibrio cholerae deploys a harpoon-like type VI secretion system (T6SS) to compete against other microbes in environmental and host settings. The T6SS punctures adjacent cells and delivers toxi...

Thermal vestige of the zero-temperature jamming transition
When the packing fraction is increased sufficiently, loose particulates jam to form a rigid solid in which the constituents are no longer free to move. In typical granular materials and foams, the thermal ener...

Geometric frustration in buckled colloidal monolayers
Geometric frustration arises when lattice structure prevents simultaneous minimization of local interaction energies. It leads to highly degenerate ground states and, subsequently, to complex phases of matter,...
