Why shaking faster does not untangle: frequency-selective extraction of filaments from tangled matter
Ishant Tiwari, Sutikshan Bansal, Rosalind Huang +4
Tangles of soft filaments are ubiquitous, from living worm blobs to the cables in a desk drawer. How do such tangles, held together by friction and entanglement, respond when one e…
Collective is different: Information exchange and speed-accuracy trade-offs in self-organized patterning
Ashutosh Tripathi, Jörn Dunkel, Dominic J. Skinner
During development, highly ordered structures emerge as cells collectively coordinate with each other. While recent advances have clarified how individual cells process and respond…
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…
Predicting mosquito flight behavior using Bayesian dynamical systems learning
Christopher Zuo, Chenyi Fei, Alexander E. Cohen +4
Mosquito-borne diseases cause several hundred thousand deaths every year. Deciphering mosquito host-seeking behavior is essential to prevent disease transmission through mosquito c…
Emergent dimer-model topological order and quasi-particle excitations in liquid crystals: combinatorial vortex lattices
Cuiling Meng, Jin-Sheng Wu, Žiga Kos +3
Liquid crystals have proven to provide a versatile experimental and theoretical platform for studying topological objects such as vortices, skyrmions, and hopfions. In parallel, in…
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…
Nonlinear memory in cell division dynamics across species
Shijie Zhang, Chenyi Fei, Jörn Dunkel
Regulation of cell growth and division is essential to achieve cell-size homeostasis. Recent advances in imaging technologies, such as ``mother machines" for bacteria or yeast, hav…
Persistent homology and topological statistics of hyperuniform point clouds
Marco Salvalaglio, Dominic J. Skinner, Jörn Dunkel +1
Hyperuniformity, the suppression of density fluctuations at large length scales, is observed across a wide variety of domains, from cosmology to condensed matter and biological sys…
Vortex line entanglement in active Beltrami flows
Nicolas Romeo, Jonasz Slomka, Jorn Dunkel +1
Over the last decade, substantial progress has been made in understanding the topology of quasi-2D non-equilibrium fluid flows driven by ATP-powered microtubules and microorganisms…
Discovering dynamics and parameters of nonlinear oscillatory and chaotic systems from partial observations
George Stepaniants, Alasdair D. Hastewell, Dominic J. Skinner +2
Despite rapid progress in live-imaging techniques, many complex biophysical and biochemical systems remain only partially observable, thus posing the challenge to identify valid th…
Dynamics, scaling behavior, and control of nuclear wrinkling
Jonathan A. Jackson, Nicolas Romeo, Alexander Mietke +5
The cell nucleus is enveloped by a complex membrane, whose wrinkling has been implicated in disease and cellular aging. The biophysical dynamics and spectral evolution of nuclear w…
Topological packing statistics distinguish living and non-living matter
Dominic J. Skinner, Hannah Jeckel, Adam C. Martin +2
How much structural information is needed to distinguish living from non-living systems? Here, we show that the statistical properties of Delaunay tessellations suffice to differen…
Harmonic flow field representations of quantum bits and gates
Vishal P. Patil, Žiga Kos, Jörn Dunkel
We describe a general procedure for mapping arbitrary -qubit states to two-dimensional (2D) vector fields. The mappings use complex rational function representations of individu…
Geometry-dependent viscosity reduction in sheared active fluids
Jonasz Słomka, Jörn Dunkel
We investigate flow pattern formation and viscosity reduction mechanisms in active fluids by studying a generalized Navier-Stokes model that captures the experimentally observed bu…
