Theoretical Limits of Energy Extraction in Active Fluids

Shahriar Shadkhoo, Matt Thomson

Active materials form a class of far-from-equilibrium systems that are driven internally and exhibit self-organization which can be harnessed to perform mechanical work. Inspired b…

Spatiotemporal patterning of extensile active stresses in microtubule-based active fluids

Linnea M. Lemma, Minu Varghese, Tyler D. Ross +3

Active stresses, which are collectively generated by the motion of energy-consuming rod-like constituents, generate chaotic autonomous flows. Controlling active stresses in space a…

Dynamic Flow Control Through Active Matter Programming Language

Fan Yang, Shichen Liu, Heun Jin Lee +2

Cells control fluid flows with a spatial and temporal precision that far exceeds the capabilities of current microfluidic technologies. Cells achieve this superior spatio-temporal…

Engineering flexible machine learning systems by traversing functionally-invariant paths

Guruprasad Raghavan, Bahey Tharwat, Surya Narayanan Hari +2

Transformers have emerged as the state of the art neural network architecture for natural language processing and computer vision. In the foundation model paradigm, large transform…

Cell density controls signal propagation waves in a multicellular synthetic gene circuit

Marco Santorelli, Pranav Bhamidipati, Andriu Kavanagh +4

During organismal development, biochemical reaction networks sense and respond to mechanical forces to coordinate embryonic patterning with embryo morphogenesis. Factors such as co…

Signaling receptor localization maximizes cellular information acquisition in spatially-structured, natural environments

Zitong Jerry Wang, Matt Thomson

Cells in natural environments like tissue or soil sense and respond to extracellular ligands with intricately structured and non-monotonic spatial distributions that are sculpted b…
