Confinement controlled bend instability of three-dimensional active fluids
Pooja Chandrakar, Minu Varghese, S. Ali Aghvami +3
Spontaneous growth of long-wavelength deformations is a defining feature of active fluids with orientational order. We investigate the effect of biaxial rectangular confinement on…

Microtubule-based active fluids with improved lifetime, temporal stability and miscibility with passive soft materials
Pooja Chandrakar, John Berezney, Bezia Lemma +8
We have developed several distinct model systems of microtubule-based 3D active isotropic fluids and have compared their dynamical and structural properties. The non-equilibrium dy…
