Why shaking faster does not untangle: frequency-selective extraction of filaments from tangled matter
Ishant Tiwari, Sutikshan Bansal, Rosalind Huang +4
Tangles of soft filaments are ubiquitous, from living worm blobs to the cables in a desk drawer. How do such tangles, held together by friction and entanglement, respond when one e…
Topological flowscape reveals state transitions in nonreciprocal living matter
Hyunseok Lee, EliseAnne Koskelo, Shreyas Gokhale +7
Nonreciprocal interactions -- where forces between entities are asymmetric -- govern a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena, yet their role in structural transitions in living an…
Predicting mosquito flight behavior using Bayesian dynamical systems learning
Christopher Zuo, Chenyi Fei, Alexander E. Cohen +4
Mosquito-borne diseases cause several hundred thousand deaths every year. Deciphering mosquito host-seeking behavior is essential to prevent disease transmission through mosquito c…
Nonlinear memory in cell division dynamics across species
Shijie Zhang, Chenyi Fei, Jörn Dunkel
Regulation of cell growth and division is essential to achieve cell-size homeostasis. Recent advances in imaging technologies, such as ``mother machines" for bacteria or yeast, hav…
Temperature Compensation through Kinetic Regulation in Biochemical Oscillators
Haochen Fu, Chenyi Fei, Qi Ouyang +1
Nearly all circadian clocks maintain a period that is insensitive to temperature changes, a phenomenon known as temperature compensation (TC). Yet, it is unclear whether there is a…
