Wall torque controls curvature-driven propulsion in bacterial baths
Nicola Pellicciotta, Ojus Satish Bagal, Maria Cristina Cannarsa +2
The persistent dynamics of active particles makes them explore extended portions of an obstacle's boundary during collisions. From impact to escape, the net applied forces depend o…
Dynamical collective memory in fluidized granular materials
A. Plati, A. Baldassarri, A. Gnoli +2
Recent experiments with rotational diffusion of a probe in a vibrated granular media revealed a rich scenario, ranging from the dilute gas to the dense liquid with cage effects and…
Invariance properties of bacterial random walks in complex structures
Giacomo Frangipane, Gaszton Vizsnyiczai, Claudio Maggi +4
Motile cells often explore natural environments characterized by a high degree of structural complexity. Moreover cell motility is also intrinsically noisy due to spontaneous rando…
Self-propulsion against a moving membrane: enhanced accumulation and drag force
U. Marini Bettolo Marconi, A. Sarracino, C. Maggi +1
Self-propulsion (SP) is a main feature of active particles (AP), such as bacteria or biological micromotors, distinguishing them from passive colloids. A renowned consequence of SP…
Polar features in the flagellar propulsion of E. coli bacteria
S. Bianchi, F. Saglimbeni, A. Lepore +1
E. coli bacteria swim following a run and tumble pattern. In the run state all flagella join in a single helical bundle that propels the cell body along approximately straight path…
