Coalescence Model for Crumpled Globules Formed in Polymer Collapse
The rapid collapse of a polymer, due to external forces or changes in solvent, yields a long-lived “crumpled globule.” The conjectured fractal structure shaped by hierarchical collapse dynamics has proved difficult to establish, even with large simulations. To unravel this puzzle, we study a coarse-...
