  abstract  = {Dielectric elastomer transducers are being developed for applications in stretchable electronics, tunable optics, biomedical devices, and soft machines. These transducers exhibit highly nonlinear electromechanical behavior: a dielectric membrane under voltage can form wrinkles, undergo snap-through instability, and suffer electrical breakdown. We investigate temporal evolution and instability by conducting a large set of experiments under various prestretches and loading rates, and by developing a model that allows viscoelastic instability. We use the model to classify types of instability, and map the experimental observations according to prestretches and loading rates. The model describes the entire set of experimental observations. A new type of instability is discovered, which we call wrinkle-to-wrinkle transition. A flat membrane at a critical voltage forms wrinkles and then, at a second critical voltage, snaps into another state of winkles of a shorter wavelength. This study demonstrates that viscoelasticity is essential to the understanding of temporal evolution and instability of dielectric elastomers. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

  abstract  = {Multiple experiments show that various submicron particles such as magnetosomes, RNA messengers, viruses, and even much smaller nanoparticles such as globular proteins diffuse anomalously slow in viscoelastic cytosol of living cells. Hence, their sufficiently fast directional transport by molecular motors such as kinesins is crucial for the cell operation. It has been shown recently that the traditional flashing Brownian ratchet models of molecular motors are capable to describe both normal and anomalous transport of such subdiffusing cargos by molecular motors with a very high efficiency. This work elucidates further an important role of mechanochemical coupling in such an anomalous transport. It shows a natural emergence of a perfect subdiffusive ratchet regime due to allosteric effects, where the random rotations of a "catalytic wheel" at the heart of the motor operation become perfectly synchronized with the random stepping of a heavily loaded motor, so that only one ATP molecule is consumed on average at each motor step along microtubule. However, the number of rotations made by the catalytic engine and the traveling distance both scale sublinearly in time. Nevertheless, this anomalous transport can be very fast in absolute terms.},
