Nonreciprocity as a generic route to traveling states
Zhihong You, Aparna Baskaran, M. Cristina Marchetti
We examine a non-reciprocally coupled dynamical model of a mixture of two diffusing species. We demonstrate that nonreciprocity, which is encoded in the model via antagonistic cros…
Confinement-induced self-organization in growing bacterial colonies
Zhihong You, Daniel J. G. Pearce, Luca Giomi
We investigate the emergence of global alignment in colonies of dividing rod-shaped cells under confinement. Using molecular dynamics simulations and continuous modeling, we demons…
Mono-to-multilayer transition in growing bacterial colonies
Zhihong You, Daniel J. G. Pearce, Anupam Sengupta +1
The transition from monolayers to multilayered structures in bacterial colonies is a fundamental step in biofilm development. Observed across different morphotypes and species, thi…
Statistical Properties of Autonomous Flows in 2D Active Nematics
Linnea M Lemma, Stephen J Decamp, Zhihong You +2
We study the dynamics of a tunable 2D active nematic liquid crystal composed of microtubules and kinesin motors confined to an oil-water interface. Kinesin motors continuously inje…
