Control of microswimmers by spiral nematic vortices: transition from individual to collective motion and contraction, expansion, and stable circulation of bacterial swirls
Runa Koizumi, Taras Turiv, Mikhail M. Genkin +6
Active systems comprised of self-propelled units show fascinating transitions from Brownian-like dynamics to collective coherent motion. Swirling of swimming bacteria is a spectacu…

Polar jets of swimming bacteria condensed by a patterned liquid crystal
Taras Turiv, Runa Koizumi, Kristian Thijssen +8
Active matter exhibits remarkable collective behavior in which flows, continuously generated by active particles, are intertwined with the orientational order of these particles. T…
