Population-Scale Advancing Interface Modeling Reveals How Bacterial Swarms Encode Future Spatial Architecture
Shengyou Duan, Zhaoyang Wang, Kaiyi Xiong +5
Motile bacteria shape microbial function by occupying space, yet how collective motion becomes population-scale architecture remains poorly resolved. Bacterial swarming is not mere…
Phase separation dynamics and active turbulence in a binary fluid mixture
Sohail Ahmed, Zixiang Lin, Zijie Qu
Active matter, encompassing natural systems, converts surrounding energy to sustain autonomous motion, exhibiting unique non-equilibrium behaviors such as active turbulence and pha…
Rheologically tuned diffusion modulates quorum sensing in Vibrio fischeri
Chunhe Li, Zixiang Lin, Hongyi Bian +3
Understanding how the physical properties of a fluid influence bacterial behavior is essential for explaining how microorganisms interact with their environment and with animal hos…
Active Turbulence in Shear Thinning Fluid
Hongyi Bian, Chunhe Li, Zixiang Lin +5
The study of active matter system has critical importance in revealing the physical essence of biological collective behavior. Dense bacterial suspension - a typical biological act…
Boundaries Program Deformation in Isolated Active Networks
Zixiang Lin, Shichen Liu, Shahriar Shadkhoo +9
Cellular structures must organize themselves within strict physical constraints, operating with finite resources and well-defined boundaries. Classical systems demonstrate only pas…
Hydrodynamic Interaction and Geometric Memory Effect Drive Directed Swimming of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii near Periodic Microstructures
Chunhe Li, Hongyi Bian, Zixiang Lin +2
The movement of microorganisms near solid-liquid interfaces is a topic of significant scientific interest due to its relevance in various natural and industrial contexts, such as b…
