Thermodynamic limits of sperm swimming precision
C. Maggi, B. Nath, F. Saglimbeni +3
Sperm swimming is crucial to fertilise the egg, in nature and in assisted reproductive technologies. Modelling the sperm dynamics involves elasticity, hydrodynamics, internal activ…
Dynamic density shaping of light driven bacteria
Giacomo Frangipane, Dario Dell'Arciprete, Serena Petracchini +6
Many motile microorganisms react to environmental light cues with a variety of motility responses guiding cells towards better conditions for survival and growth. The use of spatia…
Self-assembly of micro-machining systems powered by Janus micro-motors
C. Maggi, J. Simmchen, F. Saglimbeni +5
Integration of active matter in larger micro-devices can provide an embedded source of propulsion and lead to self-actuated micromachining systems that do not rely on any external…
Polar features in the flagellar propulsion of E. coli bacteria
S. Bianchi, F. Saglimbeni, A. Lepore +1
E. coli bacteria swim following a run and tumble pattern. In the run state all flagella join in a single helical bundle that propels the cell body along approximately straight path…
The very long range nature of capillary interactions in liquid films
R. Di Leonardo, F. Saglimbeni, G. Ruocco
Micron-sized objects confined in thin liquid films interact through forces mediated by the deformed liquid-air interface. This capillary interactions provide a powerful driving mec…
