Cell response in free-packed granular systems
Ana F. Cunha, André F. V. Matias, Cristóvão S. Dias +3
The study of the interactions of living adherent cells with mechanically stable (visco)elastic materials enables understanding and exploiting physiological phenomena mediated by ce…
The role of disorder in the motion of chiral swimmers in the presence of obstacles
Danne M. van Roon, Giorgio Volpe, Margarida M. Telo da Gama +1
The presence of obstacles is intuitively expected to hinder the diffusive transport of micro-swimmers. However, for chiral micro-swimmers, a low density of obstacles near a surface…
Steering self-organisation through confinement
Nuno A. M. Araújo, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen, Thomas Barois +26
Self-organisation is the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal structures and patterns from the interaction of smaller individual units. Examples are found across many scales in…
Dispersion of activity at an active-passive nematic interface
Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Margarida M. Telo da Gama
Efficient nutrient mixing is crucial for the survival of bacterial colonies and other living systems. This raises the question of whether the optimization of mixing through the eme…
The impact of one-way streets on the asymmetry of the shortest commuting routes
Hygor P. M. Melo, Diogo P. Mota, José S. Andrade +1
On a daily commute, the shortest route from home to work rarely overlaps completely the shortest way back. We analyze this asymmetry for several cities and show that it exists even…
