Motor crosslinking augments elasticity in active nematics
Steven A. Redford, Jonathan Colen, Jordan L. Shivers +8
In active materials, uncoordinated internal stresses lead to emergent long-range flows. An understanding of how the behavior of active materials depends on mesoscopic (hydrodynamic…
Machine learning active-nematic hydrodynamics
Jonathan Colen, Ming Han, Rui Zhang +10
Hydrodynamic theories effectively describe many-body systems out of equilibrium in terms of a few macroscopic parameters. However, such hydrodynamic parameters are difficult to der…
Engineering reconfigurable flow patterns via surface-driven light-controlled active matter
Xingting Gong, Arnold Mathijssen, Zev Bryant +1
Surface-driven flows are ubiquitous in nature, from subcellular cytoplasmic streaming to organ-scale ciliary arrays. Here, we model how confined geometries can be used to engineer…
Structuring Stress for Active Materials Control
Rui Zhang, Steven A. Redford, Paul V. Ruijgrok +8
Active materials are capable of converting free energy into mechanical work to produce autonomous motion, and exhibit striking collective dynamics that biology relies on for essent…
