Programmable transport of rotating particles in obstacle arrays
Marcos Puerto, Alfredo Alexander-Katz, Juan L. Aragones +1
Rotating colloids, or spinners, in obstacle arrays exhibit frequency-set stationary orbits and currents set by the competition between an inertial, Magnus-like lift and short-range…
Membrane-mediated force transduction: Stick-slip motion of vesicles with fluid membranes
Paula Magrinya, Arin Escobar Ortiz, Juan L. Aragones +1
How internal forces are transduced into motion through soft, fluid membranes remains a fundamental question in the study of active systems. To investigate this coupling, we develop…
Rolling, sliding and trapping of driven particles in square obstacle lattices
Galor Geva, Arin Escobar, Paula Magrinya +4
Transport phenomena in complex and dynamic microscopic environments are fundamentally shaped by hydrodynamic interactions. In particular, microparticle transport in porous media is…
Rolling vesicles: From confined rotational flows to surface-enabled motion
Paula Magrinya, Pablo Palacios, Pablo Llombart +4
The interaction of surfaces in relative motion in wet environments is dominated by lubrication forces, which play a pivotal role in the dynamics of microscopic systems. Here, we de…
Metamaterials for Active Colloid Transport
Shahrzad Yazdi, Juan L. Aragones, Jennifer Coulter +1
Transport phenomena in out-of-equilibrium systems is immensely important in a myriad of applications in biology, engineering and physics. Complex environments, such as the cytoplas…
Trapping flocking particles with asymmetric obstacles
Raul Martinez, Francisco Alarcon, Juan Luis Aragones +1
Asymmetric obstacles can be exploited to direct the motion and induce sorting of run-and-tumbling particles. In this work, we show that flocking particles which follow the Vicsek m…
