Active Foam: The Adaptive Mechanics of 2D Air-Liquid Foam under Cyclic Inflation
Laurel A. Kroo, Matthew Storm Bull, Manu Prakash
Foam is a canonical example of disordered soft matter where local force balance leads to the competition of many metastable configurations. Here we present an experimental and theo…
Mobile defects born from an energy cascade shape the locomotive behavior of a headless animal
Matthew S. Bull, Manu Prakash
The physics of behavior seeks simple descriptions of animal behavior. The field has advanced rapidly by using techniques in low dimensional dynamics distilled from computer vision.…
Ciliary flocking and emergent instabilities enable collective agility in a non-neuromuscular animal
Matthew S. Bull, Vivek N. Prakash, Manu Prakash
Effective organismal behavior responds appropriately to changes in the surrounding environment. Attaining this delicate balance of sensitivity and stability is a hallmark of the an…
Excitable mechanics embodied in a walking cilium
Matthew S. Bull, Laurel A. Kroo, Manu Prakash
Rapid transduction of sensory stimulation to action is essential for an animal to survive. To this end, most animals use the sub-second excitable and multistable dynamics of a neur…
