Recovering the activity parameters of an active fluid confined in a sphere
Cristian Villalobos, María Luisa Cordero, Eric Clément +1
The properties of an active fluid, for example, a bacterial bath or a collection of microtubules and molecular motors, can be accessed through the dynamics of passive particle prob…

Accumulation and depletion of E. coli in surfaces mediated by curvature
Benjamín Pérez-Estay, María Luisa Cordero, Néstor Sepúlveda +1
Can topography be used to control bacteria accumulation? We address this question in the model system of smooth-swimming and run-and-tumble \textit{Escherichia coli} swimming near…
