How many ways a cell can move: the modes of self-propulsion of an active drop
Aurore Loisy, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
Numerous physical models have been proposed to explain how cell motility emerges from internal activity, mostly focused on how crawling motion arises from internal processes. Here…
Tractionless Self-Propulsion of Active Drops
Aurore Loisy, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We report on a new mode of self-propulsion exhibited by compact drops of active liquids on a substrate which, remarkably, is tractionless, i.e., which imparts no mechanical stress…
Active suspensions have non-monotonic flow curves and multiple mechanical equilibria
Aurore Loisy, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We point out unconventional mechanical properties of confined active fluids, such as bacterial suspensions, under shear. Using a minimal model of an active liquid crystal with no f…
