State-dependent recruitment of adhesion molecules enables perfect stabilization in cell-adhesion models
Anton F. Burnet, Julia Müllner, Benedikt Sabass
Cells adapt their adhesion to mechanical load, but the physical conditions under which this response prevents rupture remain unclear. Inspired by focal adhesions, we study models i…
Non-equilibrium dynamics of bacterial colonies -- growth, active fluctuations, segregation, adhesion, and invasion
Kai Zhou, Marc Hennes, Berenike Maier +2
Colonies of bacteria endowed with a pili-based self-propulsion machinery are ideal models for investigating the structure and dynamics of active many-particle systems. We study Nei…
Nonlinear, electrocatalytic swimming in the presence of salt
Benedikt Sabass, Udo Seifert
A small, bimetallic particle in a hydrogen peroxide solution can propel itself by means of an electrocatalytic reaction. The swimming is driven by a flux of ions around the particl…
Efficiency of surface-driven motion: nano-swimmers beat micro-swimmers
Benedikt Sabass, Udo Seifert
Surface interactions provide a class of mechanisms which can be employed for propulsion of micro- and nanometer sized particles. We investigate the related efficiency of externally…
