Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted research on macroscopic transfer phenomena induced by nonequilibrium interfaces in soft-matters and bio-matters, and created various model experimental systems and clarified their driving mechanisms. In particular, the following results have been obtained: motion bifurcation between straight and rotational motions of droplets driven by thermal Marangoni effect under light-to-heat conversion; spontaneous structure formation of actomyosin emerged inside a water-in-oil droplet coated with a lipid monolayer to induce non-thermal fluctuation of the interface; cortex reconstruction that causes buckling deformation of the interface; induction of limit cycle oscillations by coherent resonance; and elucidation of the accumulation mechanism of swimming unicellular microorganisms Tetrahymena near a wall.
