Emergent Isotropic-Nematic Transition in 3D Semiflexible Active Polymers
Twan Hooijschuur, Ehsan Irani, Antoine Deblais +1
Active semiflexible filament collectives, ranging from motor-driven cytoskeletal filaments to slender organisms such as cyanobacteria and worm aggregates, abound in nature. Yet how…
Optimal Translocation of Living \& Active Filaments in Confinement
Marin Vatin, Rosa Sinaasappel, Renske Kamping +3
Active filament translocation through confined spaces is central to processes ranging from DNA transport through nanopores to cytoskeletal dynamics in cell migration. Here, we use…
Collecting Particles in Confined Spaces by Active Filamentous Matter
R. Sinaasappel, K. R. Prathyusha, H. Tuazon +4
Biological and robotic systems often operate in confined environments where material must be gathered without centralized control. Inspired by the effective collection strategies o…
Locomotion of Active Polymerlike Worms in Porous Media
Rosa Sinaasappel, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Twan Hooijschuur +3
We investigate the locomotion of thin, living T. tubifex worms, which display active polymerlike behavior, within quasi-2D arrays of cylindrical pillars, examining varying spatial…
Worm Blobs as Entangled Living Polymers: From Topological Active Matter to Flexible Soft Robot Collectives
Antoine Deblais, K. R. Prathyusha, Rosa Sinaasappel +4
Recently, long and slender living worms have garnered significant interest because of their impressive ability to exhibit diverse emergent behaviors in highly entangled physical an…
