Mesoscale flows in active baths dictate the dynamics of semi-flexible filaments
Bipul Biswas, Devadyouti Das, Manasa Kandula +1
Semi-flexible filaments in living systems are constantly driven by active forces that often organize into mesoscale coherent flows. Although theory and simulations predict rich fil…
Corkscrew motion of Trypanosoma brucei is driven by helical beating of the flagellum and facilitated by its bent shape
Sizhe Cheng, Devadyouti Das, Mykhaylo Barchuk +4
In the pathogenic parasite Trypanosoma brucei, a laterally attached flagellum drives rapid deformation of the complex cell body, producing puzzling dynamics. High-speed defocusing…
-ball superradiance: Analytical approach
Guo-Dong Zhang, Shuang-Yong Zhou, Meng-Fan Zhu
It was recently discovered that waves scattering off a -ball can extract energy from it. We present an analytical treatment of this process by adopting a multi-step function app…
Biofilms as self-shaping growing nematics
Japinder Nijjer, Mrityunjay Kothari, Changhao Li +7
Active nematics are the nonequilibrium analog of passive liquid crystals in which anisotropic units consume free energy to drive emergent behavior. Similar to liquid crystal (LC) m…
Ionic content dependence of viscoelasticity of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal sunset yellow
Shuang Zhou, Adam J. Cervenka, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
A lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC) is an orientationally ordered system made by self-assembled aggregates of charged organic molecules in water, bound by weak non-covalent…
Living Liquid Crystals
Shuang Zhou, Andrey Sokolov, Oleg D Lavrentovich +1
Collective motion of self-propelled organisms or synthetic particles often termed active fluid has attracted enormous attention in broad scientific community because of it fundamen…
