Topological flowscape reveals state transitions in nonreciprocal living matter

Hyunseok Lee, EliseAnne Koskelo, Shreyas Gokhale +7

Nonreciprocal interactions -- where forces between entities are asymmetric -- govern a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena, yet their role in structural transitions in living an…

Measuring amount of computation done by C.elegans using whole brain neural activity

Junang Li, Andrew M. Leifer, David H. Wolpert

Many dynamical systems found in biology, ranging from genetic circuits to the human brain to human social systems, are inherently computational. Although extensive research has exp…

Selective excitation of work-generating cycles in nonreciprocal living solids

Yu-Chen Chao, Shreyas Gokhale, Lisa Lin +8

Emergent nonreciprocity in active matter drives the formation of self-organized states that transcend the behaviors of equilibrium systems. Integrating experiments, theory and simu…

Measuring irreversibility from learned representations of biological patterns

Junang Li, Chih-Wei Joshua Liu, Michal Szurek +1

Thermodynamic irreversibility is a crucial property of living matter. Irreversible processes maintain spatiotemporally complex structures and functions characteristic of living sys…

Dynamic clustering of passive colloids in dense suspensions of motile bacteria

Shreyas Gokhale, Junang Li, Alexandre Solon +2

Mixtures of active and passive particles are predicted to exhibit a variety of nonequilibrium phases. Here we report a dynamic clustering phase in mixtures of colloids and motile b…

Scale-dependent irreversibility in living matter

Tzer Han Tan, Garrett A. Watson, Yu-Chen Chao +4

A defining feature of living matter is the ability to harness energy to self-organize multiscale structures whose functions are facilitated by irreversible nonequilibrium dynamics.…

Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals

Tzer Han Tan, Alexander Mietke, Junang Li +6

Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic and bacterial active matter. Wheth…

Quantifying dissipation using fluctuating currents

Junang Li, Jordan M. Horowitz, Todd R. Gingrich +1

Systems coupled to multiple thermodynamic reservoirs can exhibit nonequilibrium dynamics, breaking detailed balance to generate currents. To power these currents, the entropy of th…

Self-organization of stress patterns drives state transitions in actin cortices

Tzer Han Tan, Maya Malik Garbi, Enas Abu-Shah +6

Biological functions rely on ordered structures and intricately controlled collective dynamics. In contrast to systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, order is typically established…
