Collective dynamics of active suspensions on curved viscous interfaces
Yuzhu Chen, Vishal P. Patil, David Saintillan
Self-propelled particles can navigate complex environments, including viscous fluid interfaces with curved geometries. In this work, we study the emergent dynamics of a suspension…

Collective action and entanglement of magnetically active liquid crystal elastomer ribbons
Asaf Dana, Christian Benson, Manivannan Sivaperuman Kalairaj +10
Interactions between active individuals in animal collectives lead to emergent responses that remain elusive in synthetic soft matter. Here, shape-morphing polymers are used to cre…
