Yunker P, Asahara H, Hung K, Landry C, Arriaga L, Akartuna I, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2016 Jan; 113(3):608-13. PMID: 26721399
Single-span membrane proteins (ssMPs) represent approximately one-half of all membrane proteins and play important roles in cellular communications. However, like all membrane proteins, ssMPs are prone to misfolding and aggregation...

Edwards C, Arbabi A, Bhaduri B, Wang X, Ganti R, Yunker P, et al.
Langmuir . 2015 Sep; 31(40):11020-32. PMID: 26389788
We demonstrate real-time quantitative phase imaging as a new optical approach for measuring the evaporation dynamics of sessile microdroplets. Quantitative phase images of various droplets were captured during evaporation. The...

Edwards C, Zhou R, Hwang S, McKeown S, Wang K, Bhaduri B, et al.
Appl Opt . 2014 Oct; 53(27):G33-43. PMID: 25322136
Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) utilizes the fact that the phase of an imaging field is much more sensitive than its amplitude. As fields from the source interact with the specimen,...

Yunker P, Chen K, Gratale M, Lohr M, Still T, Yodh A
Rep Prog Phys . 2014 May; 77(5):056601. PMID: 24801604
This review collects and describes experiments that employ colloidal suspensions to probe physics in ordered and disordered solids and related complex fluids. The unifying feature of this body of work...

Still T, Goodrich C, Chen K, Yunker P, Schoenholz S, Liu A, et al.
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2014 Mar; 89(1):012301. PMID: 24580221
Particle tracking and displacement covariance matrix techniques are employed to investigate the phonon dispersion relations of two-dimensional colloidal glasses composed of soft, thermoresponsive microgel particles whose temperature-sensitive size permits in...

Yunker P, Lohr M, Still T, Borodin A, Durian D, Yodh A
Phys Rev Lett . 2013 Dec; 111(20):209602. PMID: 24289714

Gratale M, Yunker P, Chen K, Still T, Aptowicz K, Yodh A
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2013 Jun; 87(5):052301. PMID: 23767534
We study phonon modes in two-dimensional colloidal crystals composed of soft microgel particles with hard polystyrene particle dopants distributed randomly on the triangular lattice. This experimental approach produces close-packed lattices...

Yunker P, Zhang Z, Gratale M, Chen K, Yodh A
J Chem Phys . 2013 Apr; 138(12):12A525. PMID: 23556776
We study connections between vibrational spectra and average nearest neighbor number in disordered clusters of colloidal particles with attractive interactions. Measurements of displacement covariances between particles in each cluster permit...

Yunker P, Lohr M, Still T, Borodin A, Durian D, Yodh A
Phys Rev Lett . 2013 Feb; 110(3):035501. PMID: 23373933
We study the influence of particle shape on growth processes at the edges of evaporating drops. Aqueous suspensions of colloidal particles evaporate on glass slides, and convective flows during evaporation...

Yunker P, Gratale M, Lohr M, Still T, Lubensky T, Yodh A
Phys Rev Lett . 2012 Sep; 108(22):228303. PMID: 23003662
We investigate the influence of particle shape on the bending rigidity of colloidal monolayer membranes (CMMs) and on evaporative processes associated with these membranes. Aqueous suspensions of colloidal particles are...
