1.
Massana-Cid H, Maggi C, Gnan N, Frangipane G, di Leonardo R
Nat Commun . 2024 Aug; 15(1):6574. PMID: 39097577
Thermal fluctuations constantly excite all relaxation modes in an equilibrium crystal. As the temperature rises, these fluctuations promote the formation of defects and eventually melting. In active solids, the self-propulsion...

Shaulli X, Rivas-Barbosa R, Bergman M, Zhang C, Gnan N, Scheffold F, et al.
ACS Nano . 2023 Jan; 17(3):2067-2078. PMID: 36656959
Super-resolution microscopy has become a powerful tool to investigate the internal structure of complex colloidal and polymeric systems, such as microgels, at the nanometer scale. An interesting feature of this...

Gnan N, Maggi C
Soft Matter . 2022 Sep; 18(39):7654-7661. PMID: 36169619
It is still a debated issue whether all critical active particles belong to the same universality class. Here we numerically study the critical behavior of quorum sensing active particles that...

Paoluzzi M, Gnan N, Grassi F, Salvetti M, Vanacore N, Crisanti A
Sci Rep . 2021 Dec; 11(1):24467. PMID: 34963680
Mobility restrictions are successfully used to contain the diffusion of epidemics. In this work we explore their effect on the epidemic growth by investigating an extension of the Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR)...

Del Monte G, Truzzolillo D, Camerin F, Ninarello A, Chauveau E, Tavagnacco L, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2021 Sep; 118(37). PMID: 34508008
Thermoresponsive microgels are one of the most investigated types of soft colloids, thanks to their ability to undergo a Volume Phase Transition (VPT) close to ambient temperature. However, this fundamental...

Handle P, Zaccarelli E, Gnan N
J Chem Phys . 2021 Aug; 155(6):064901. PMID: 34391347
The addition of co-solutes to colloidal suspensions is often employed to induce tunable depletion interactions. In this work, we investigate effective colloidal interactions arising from binary co-solute mixtures of hard...

Gnan N, Camerin F, Del Monte G, Ninarello A, Zaccarelli E
J Chem Phys . 2021 Apr; 154(15):154901. PMID: 33887924
We report extensive numerical simulations of different models of 2D polymer rings with internal elasticity. We monitor the dynamical behavior of the rings as a function of the packing fraction...

Maggi C, Paoluzzi M, Crisanti A, Zaccarelli E, Gnan N
Soft Matter . 2021 Mar; 17(14):3807-3812. PMID: 33645615
We perform large-scale computer simulations of an off-lattice two-dimensional model of active particles undergoing a motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) to investigate the system's critical behaviour close to the critical point...

Del Monte G, Camerin F, Ninarello A, Gnan N, Rovigatti L, Zaccarelli E
J Phys Condens Matter . 2020 Oct; 33(8):084001. PMID: 33105117
Ionic microgel particles are intriguing systems in which the properties of thermo-responsive polymeric colloids are enriched by the presence of charged groups. In order to rationalize their properties and predict...

Di Napoli B, Franco S, Severini L, Tumiati M, Buratti E, Titubante M, et al.
ACS Appl Polym Mater . 2020 Jul; 2(7):2791-2801. PMID: 32685926
Microgel particles have emerged in the past few years as a favorite model system for fundamental science and for innovative applications ranging from the industrial to biomedical fields. Despite their...
