Electrohydraulic Fields Generated by Active Transport at Tissue Interfaces

Amit Singh Vishen, Ahandeep Manna, Frank Jülicher

Living cells and tissues can generate complex patterns of electric fields and fluid flows which can play important role in physiology. Both, fields and flows are rooted in ion tran…

Nonequilibrium noise emerging from broken detailed balance in active gels

Ashot Matevosyan, Frank Jülicher, Ricard Alert

In thermodynamic equilibrium, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem links thermal fluctuations and dissipation. Biological systems, however, are driven out of equilibrium by internal…

Spatiotemporal Control of Charge +1 Topological Defects in Polar Active Matter

Birte C. Geerds, Abhinav Singh, Mathieu Dedenon +4

Topological defects are a conspicuous feature of active liquid crystals that have been associated with important morphogenetic transitions in organismal development. Robust develop…

Fluctuation-Response Theory of Non-Equilibrium Complex Fluids

Ryota Takaki, Frank Jülicher

A fundamental challenge in soft matter physics is to describe materials, such as the living cytoplasm and tissues, that are simultaneously active, chemically driven, and exhibit lo…

Particle transport in a correlated ratchet

Saloni Saxena, Marko Popović, Frank Jülicher

One of the many measures of the non-equilibrium nature of a system is the existence of a non-zero steady state current which is especially relevant for many biological systems. To…

Spontaneous flows in active smectics with dislocations

Shao-Zhen Lin, Frank Jülicher, Jacques Prost +1

We construct a hydrodynamic theory of active smectics A in two-dimensional space, including the creation/annihilation and motility of dislocations with Burgers' number . We d…
