Pattern stabilisation in swarms of programmable active matter: a probe for turbulence at large length scales
Pankaj Popli, Prasad Perlekar, Surajit Sengupta
We propose an algorithm for creating stable, ordered, swarms of active robotic agents arranged in any given pattern. The strategy involves suppressing a class of fluctuations known…

Exploring the link between crystal defects and non-affine displacement fluctuations
Pankaj Popli, Sayantani Kayal, Peter Sollich +1
We generalize, and then use, a recently introduced formalism to study thermal fluctuations of atomic displacements in several two and three dimensional crystals. We study both clos…
