Confinement-induced accumulation and spontaneous de-mixing of microscopic active-passive mixtures
Stephen Williams, Raphaël Jeanneret, Idan Tuval +1
Understanding the out-of-equilibrium properties of noisy microscale systems and the extent to which they can be modulated externally, is a crucial scientific and technological chal…
Runaway electrification of friable self-replicating granular matter
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Bruno Escribano, Hinrich Grothe +3
We establish that the nonlinear dynamics of collisions between particles favors the charging of a insulating, friable, self-replicating granular material that undergoes nucleation,…
Dancing Volvox: Hydrodynamic Bound States of Swimming Algae
Knut Drescher, Kyriacos C. Leptos, Idan Tuval +3
The spherical alga Volvox swims by means of flagella on thousands of surface somatic cells. This geometry and its large size make it a model organism for studying the fluid dynamic…
