Active smectics on a sphere
Michael Nestler, Simon Praetorius, Zhi-Feng Huang +2
The dynamics of active smectic liquid crystals confined on a spherical surface is explored through an active phase field crystal model. Starting from an initially randomly perturbe…
Cut it out: Out-of-plane stresses in cell sheet folding of Volvox embryos
Pierre A. Haas, Stephanie S. M. H. Höhn
The folding of cellular monolayers pervades embryonic development and disease. It results from stresses out of the plane of the tissue, often caused by cell shape changes including…
Probe particles in odd active viscoelastic fluids: how activity and dissipation determine linear stability
Charlie Duclut, Stefano Bo, Ruben Lier +3
Odd viscoelastic materials are constrained by fewer symmetries than their even counterparts. The breaking of these symmetries allow these materials to exhibit different features, w…
Charge separation at liquid interfaces
Arghya Majee, Christoph A. Weber, Frank Jülicher
We present a theory for phase-separated liquid coacervates with salt, taking into account spatial heterogeneities and interfacial profiles. We find that charged layers of alternati…
Impossible ecologies: Interaction networks and stability of coexistence in ecological communities
Yu Meng, Szabolcs Horvát, Carl D. Modes +1
Does an ecological community allow stable coexistence? Identifying the general principles that determine the answer to this question is a central problem of theoretical ecology. Ra…
Active shape control by plants in dynamic environments
Hadrien Oliveri, Derek E. Moulton, Heather A. Harrington +1
Plants are a paradigm for active shape control in response to stimuli. For instance, it is well-known that a tilted plant will eventually straighten vertically, demonstrating the i…
