Flexibility-induced effects in the Brownian motion of colloidal trimers

Shape changes resulting from segmental flexibility are ubiquitous in molecular and biological systems, and are expected to affect both the diffusive motion and (biological) function of dispersed objects. The recent development of colloidal structures with freely jointed bonds have now made a direct...
