Internal stress drives ferromagnetic-like ordering in networks of proliferating bacteria
Nicola Pellicciotta, Luca Angelani, Roberto Di Leonardo
Proliferation is a defining feature of life. Through growth, division, and death, living systems consume energy and inject mass, breaking conservation laws and driving collective p…
Wall torque controls curvature-driven propulsion in bacterial baths
Nicola Pellicciotta, Ojus Satish Bagal, Maria Cristina Cannarsa +2
The persistent dynamics of active particles makes them explore extended portions of an obstacle's boundary during collisions. From impact to escape, the net applied forces depend o…
Roadmap for Animate Matter
Giorgio Volpe, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Maria Guix +37
Humanity has long sought inspiration from nature to innovate materials and devices. As science advances, nature-inspired materials are becoming part of our lives. Animate materials…
Generalized energy equipartition in harmonic oscillators driven by active baths
Claudio Maggi, Matteo Paoluzzi, Nicola Pellicciotta +3
We study experimentally and numerically the dynamics of colloidal beads confined by a harmonic potential in a bath of swimming E. coli bacteria. The resulting dynamics is well appr…
