Active polymers translocate faster in confinement
K. R. Prathyusha, Paulami Sarkar, Justin Xu +1
Living organisms employ diverse strategies to navigate confined environments. Inspired by translocation observations on California blackworms (\textit{Lumbriculus variegatus}), we…

Collecting Particles in Confined Spaces by Active Filamentous Matter
R. Sinaasappel, K. R. Prathyusha, H. Tuazon +4
Biological and robotic systems often operate in confined environments where material must be gathered without centralized control. Inspired by the effective collection strategies o…

Emergent conformational properties of end-tailored transversely propelling polymers
K. R. Prathyusha, Falko Ziebert, Ramin Golestanian
We study the dynamics and conformations of a single active semiflexible polymer whose monomers experience a propulsion force perpendicular to the local tangent, with the end beads…
