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…
Programming Boundary Deformation Patterns in Active Networks
Zijie Qu, Jialong Jiang, Heun Jin Lee +3
Active materials take advantage of their internal sources of energy to self-organize in an automated manner. This feature provides a novel opportunity to design micron-scale machin…
Persistent fluid flows defined by active matter boundaries
Zijie Qu, Dominik Schildknecht, Shahriar Shadkhoo +5
Biological systems achieve precise control over ambient fluids through the self-organization of active protein structures including flagella, cilia, and cytoskeletal networks. In a…
Controlling Organization and Forces in Active Matter Through Optically-Defined Boundaries
Tyler D. Ross, Heun Jin Lee, Zijie Qu +3
Living systems are capable of locomotion, reconfiguration, and replication. To perform these tasks, cells spatiotemporally coordinate the interactions of force-generating, "active"…
