Ultrafast reversible self-assembly of living tangled matter
Vishal P. Patil, Harry Tuazon, Emily Kaufman +4
Tangled active filaments are ubiquitous in nature, from chromosomal DNA and cilia carpets to root networks and worm blobs. How activity and elasticity facilitate collective topolog…
Amorphous Entangled Active Matter
William Savoie, Harry Tuazon, M. Saad Bhamla +1
The design of amorphous entangled systems, specifically from soft and active materials, has the potential to open exciting new classes of active, shape-shifting, and task-capable '…
Oxygenation-Controlled Collective Dynamics in Aquatic Worm Blobs
Harry Tuazon, Emily Kaufman, Daniel I. Goldman +1
Many types of organisms utilize group aggregation as a method for survival. The freshwater oligochaete, California blackworms Lumbriculus variegatus form tightly entangled structur…
A polymer-based technique to remove pollutants from soft contact lenses
Katherine Burgener, M. Saad Bhamla
Purpose: To demonstrate an alternative to the rinse and rub (RR) method for cleaning pollutants from the exterior surface of soft contact lenses. This proposed technique is termed…
Autonomous Motility of Active Filaments due to Spontaneous Flow-Symmetry Breaking
Gayathri Jayaraman, Sanoop Ramachandran, Somdeb Ghose +4
We simulate the nonlocal Stokesian hydrodynamics of an elastic filament which is active due a permanent distribution of stresslets along its contour. A bending instability of an in…
