Topological active matter
Suraj Shankar, Anton Souslov, Mark J. Bowick +2
Active matter encompasses different nonequilibrium systems in which individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale. This review pro…
Viscoelastic control of spatiotemporal order in bacterial active matter
Song Liu, Suraj Shankar, M. Cristina Marchetti +1
Active matter consists of units that generate mechanical work by consuming energy. Examples include living systems, such as assemblies of bacteria and biological tissues, biopolyme…
Emergence of dynamic vortex glasses in disordered polar active fluids
Amélie Chardac, Suraj Shankar, M. Cristina Marchetti +1
In equilibrium, disorder conspires with topological defects to redefine the ordered states of matter in systems as diverse as crystals, superconductors and liquid crystals. Far fro…
Shape and size changes of adherent elastic epithelia
Benjamin Loewe, Francesco Serafin, Suraj Shankar +2
Epithelial tissues play a fundamental role in various morphogenetic events during development and early embryogenesis. Although epithelial monolayers are often modeled as two-dimen…
