Directional Symmetry Breaking of Spherical Active Colloids by Magnetoviscous Coupling
Ziyang Zhou, Takuya Kobayashi, Keita Saito +5
Harnessing active matter calls for strategies that break the directional symmetry of self-propelled motion without altering the propulsion mechanism itself. Here, we show that magn…

Myosin-driven advection and actin reorganization control the geometry of confined actomyosin gel
Archit Negi, Ryota Sakamoto, Makito Miyazaki +1
Harnessing nanoscale motor proteins to actively control material shape is a promising strategy in nanotechnology and material science. One notable system is the actomyosin network,…
