Controlling microalgae populations by phototactic memory
Gianni Jacucci, Davide Breoni, Pierre Illien +4
Understanding how microorganisms navigate in complex environments is a central question in active matter and biological physics. Phototaxis - the ability to use light as a navigati…
Collecting Particles in Confined Spaces by Active Filamentous Matter
R. Sinaasappel, K. R. Prathyusha, H. Tuazon +4
Biological and robotic systems often operate in confined environments where material must be gathered without centralized control. Inspired by the effective collection strategies o…
Speed-Dispersion Induced Alignment : a 1D model inspired by swimming droplets experiments
Pierre Illien, Charlotte de Blois, Yang Liu +2
We investigate the collective dynamics of self-propelled droplets, confined in a one dimensional micro-fluidic channel. On one hand, neighboring droplets align and form large train…
