Emergent dynamics of active elastic microbeams
Q. Martinet, Y. Li, A. Aubret +2
In equilibrium, the physical properties of matter are set by the interactions between the constituents. In contrast, the energy input of the individual components controls the beha…

Hydrodynamics converts chiral flagellar rotation into contactless actuation of microdiscs
Daniel Grober, Tanumoy Dhar, David Saintillan +1
Motile bacteria are a wonder of nature's engineering: microscopic engines that transduce biochemical energy into the work they require to explore their environment. This added ener…

Quantitative measurements of non-equilibrium interactions of catalytic microswimmers with dual colloidal tracers
Celso Carrasco, Quentin Martinet, Zaiyi Shen +3
Catalytic microswimmers convert the chemical energy of a fuel into motion, sustaining spatial chemical gradients and fluid flows that drive their propulsion. This leads to unconven…
