Dynamical approach to the jamming problem
Sam Wilken, Ashley Z. Guo, Dov Levine +1
A simple dynamical model, Biased Random Organization, BRO, appears to produce configurations known as Random Close Packing (RCP) as BRO's densest critical point in dimension .…
Coupled dynamical phase transitions in driven disk packings
Akash Ghosh, Jaikumar Radhakrishnan, Paul M. Chaikin +2
Under the influence of oscillatory shear, a mono-layer of frictional granular disks exhibits two dynamical phase transitions: a transition from an initially disordered state to an…
Hydrodynamic spin-orbit coupling in asynchronous optically driven micro-rotors
Matan Yah Ben Zion, Alvin Modin, Paul M. Chaikin
Vortical flows of rotating particles describe interactions ranging from molecular machines to atmospheric dynamics. Yet to date, direct observation of the hydrodynamic coupling bet…
Play. Pause. Rewind. Measuring local entropy production and extractable work in active matter
Sunghan Ro, Buming Guo, Aaron Shih +5
Time-reversal symmetry breaking and entropy production are universal features of nonequilibrium phenomena. Despite its importance in the physics of active and living systems, the e…
Cooperation in a fluid swarm of fuel-free micro-swimmers
Matan Yah Ben Zion, Alvin Modin, Yaelin Caba +1
Cooperation is vital for the survival of a swarm. Large scale cooperation allows murmuring starlings to outmaneuver preying falcons, shoaling sardines to outsmart sea lions…
Sedimentation of a Colloidal Monolayer Down an Inclined Plane
Brennan Sprinkle, Sam Wilken, Shake Karapetyan +7
We study the driven collective dynamics of a colloidal monolayer sedimentating down an inclined plane. The action of the gravity force parallel to the bottom wall creates a flow ar…
