An Informational Route to Negative Mobility
Ziluo Zhang, Shigeyuki Komura, Zhihong You
Mobility links an applied force to the resulting motion and is generally positive near equilibrium. Far from equilibrium, however, internal energy input can reverse this response.…
Nonlocal Sensing Drives Hybrid Phase Separation in Brownian Matter
Benchang Wu, Ziluo Zhang, Shutong Guo +2
Matter can organize not only through forces, but also through the information its constituents acquire from their surroundings. Here we use perceptive Brownian particles as a minim…
Simulations of Three-dimensional Nematic Guidance of Microswimmers
Zeyang Mou, Yuan Li, Zhihong You +1
It has been shown that an anisotropic liquid crystalline (LC) environment can be used to guide the self-propulsion dynamics of dispersed microswimmers, such as bacteria. This type…
Traveling waves at the surface of active liquid crystals
Paarth Gulati, Fernando Caballero, Itamar Kolvin +2
Active liquid crystals exert nonequilibrium stresses on their surroundings through constant consumption of energy, giving rise to dynamical steady states not present in equilibrium…
