Energy rectification in active gyroscopic networks under time-periodic modulations
Zhenghan Liao, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan
Combinations of gyroscopic forces and nonequilibrium activity has been explored recently in rectifying energy in networks with complex geometries and topologies [Phys. Rev. X 10, 0…

A mechanism for anomalous transport in chiral active liquids
Zhenghan Liao, Ming Han, Michel Fruchart +2
Chiral active fluids are known to have anomalous transport properties such as the so-called odd viscosity. In this paper, we provide a microscopic mechanism for how such anomalous…

Rectification of energy and motion in non-equilibrium parity violating metamaterials
Zhenghan Liao, William T. M. Irvine, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan
Uncovering new mechanisms for rectification of stochastic fluctuations has been a longstanding problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Here, using a model parity violatin…
