Passive memory reshapes active persistence
Ivan Di Terlizzi, Lara Koehler, John D. Treado
Many active systems move in complex environments whose mechanical response is slow and history dependent. To address this regime, we study the collective dynamics of self-sustained…

Flow-wave coupling synchronizes oscillations in growing active matter
Lara Koehler, Elissavet Sandaltzopoulou, Frank Jülicher +1
Oscillatory biochemical signals and mechanical forces must coordinate robustly during development, yet the principles governing their mutual coupling remain poorly understood. In s…

Topological defect engineering enables size and shape control in self-assembly
Lara Koehler, Markus Eder, Vincent Ouazan-Reboul +5
The self-assembly of complex structures from engineered subunits is a major goal of nanotechnology, but controlling their size becomes increasingly difficult in larger assemblies.…
