Polymers in Swarming Bacterial Turbulence
Ranjiangshang Ran, David A. Gagnon, Alexander Morozov +1
We experimentally investigate the effects of polymer additives on the collective dynamics of swarming Serratia marcescens in quasi two-dimensional (2D) liquid films. We find that e…
Shear-induced gelation of self-yielding active networks
David A. Gagnon, Claudia Dessi, John P. Berezney +4
Molecular-motor generated active stresses drive the cytoskeleton away from equilibrium, endowing it with tunable mechanical properties that are essential for diverse functions such…
Minimal Model for Hydrodynamic Synchronization
Bian Qian, Hongyuan Jiang, David A. Gagnon +2
Motivated by the observed coordination of nearby beating cilia, we use a scale model experiment to show that hydrodynamic interactions can cause synchronization between rotating pa…
