Boundaries Program Deformation in Isolated Active Networks
Zixiang Lin, Shichen Liu, Shahriar Shadkhoo +9
Cellular structures must organize themselves within strict physical constraints, operating with finite resources and well-defined boundaries. Classical systems demonstrate only pas…
Force Propagation in Active Cytoskeletal Networks
Shichen Liu, Rosalind Wenshan Pan, Heun Jin Lee +6
In biological systems, molecular-scale forces and motions are pivotal for enabling processes like motility, shape change, and replication. These forces and motions are organized, a…
Theoretical Limits of Energy Extraction in Active Fluids
Shahriar Shadkhoo, Matt Thomson
Active materials form a class of far-from-equilibrium systems that are driven internally and exhibit self-organization which can be harnessed to perform mechanical work. Inspired b…
Programming Boundary Deformation Patterns in Active Networks
Zijie Qu, Jialong Jiang, Heun Jin Lee +3
Active materials take advantage of their internal sources of energy to self-organize in an automated manner. This feature provides a novel opportunity to design micron-scale machin…
Persistent fluid flows defined by active matter boundaries
Zijie Qu, Dominik Schildknecht, Shahriar Shadkhoo +5
Biological systems achieve precise control over ambient fluids through the self-organization of active protein structures including flagella, cilia, and cytoskeletal networks. In a…
