Biomedical active matter: Emergence and breakdown of collective functionalities
Arnold Mathijssen, Hamed Almohammadi, Lauren Altman +13
Living systems are made of active materials with microscopic components that work together to perform macroscopic biological tasks. The breakdown of these collective functionalitie…
Flow-induced bending response rheometer to measure viscoelastic bending of microrods
Barrett T Smith, Michal Czerepaniak, Maciej Lisicki +1
Soft, microscale hydrogel fibers and rods play important roles in tissue engineering, flexible electronics, soft robotics, drug delivery, sensors, and other applications. Their vis…
Living droplets with mesoscale swimmers
L. Malik, N. Sharadhi, C. Prêcheur Llarena +5
We study the activity of 'living' droplets, which confine tens of swimming meso-organisms in 3D using a superhydrophobic substrate. With few swimmers, the droplet oscillates at its…
Diffusioosmotic corner flows
Dobromir Nowak, Maciej Lisicki
We study flows generated within a two-dimensional corner by the chemical activity of the confining boundaries. Catalytic reactions at the surfaces induce diffusioosmotic motion of…
Bridging advection and diffusion in the encounter dynamics of sedimenting marine snow
Jan Turczynowicz, Radost Waszkiewicz, Jonasz Słomka +1
Sinking marine snow particles, composed primarily of organic matter, control the global export of photosynthetically fixed carbon from the ocean surface to depth. The fate of sedim…
Coiling instability in the kitchen
Andrzej Herczyński, Maciej Lisicki
Manipulation of viscous liquids is an essential kitchen activity - from pouring golden syrup onto a pancake to decorating a cake with whipped cream frosting, from streaming ketchup…
Twist and turn. Elastohydrodynamics of microscale active fibres
Maciej Lisicki
Cellular locomotion often involves the motion of thin, elastic filaments, such as cilia and flagella, in viscous environments. The manuscript serves as a general introduction to th…
The trimer paradox: the effect of stiff constraints on equilibrium distributions in overdamped dynamics
Radost Waszkiewicz, Maciej Lisicki
We reconsider the classical problem of a freely joined chain of Brownian particles connected by elastic springs and study its conformational probability distribution function in th…
Goldilocks fluctuations: dynamic constraints on loop formation in scale-free transport networks
Radost Waszkiewicz, John Burnham Shaw, Maciej Lisicki +1
Adaptive transport networks are known to contain loops when subject to hydrodynamic fluctuations. However, fluctuations are no guarantee that a loop will form, as shown by loop-fre…
