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…
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…
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…
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…
