Traveling strings of active dipolar colloids
Xichen Chao, Katherine Skipper, C. Patrick Royall +2
We study an intriguing new type of self-assembled active colloidal polymer system in 3D. It is obtained from a suspension of Janus particles in an electric field that induces paral…
Self-Aligning Polar Active Matter
Paul Baconnier, Olivier Dauchot, Vincent Démery +4
Self-alignment describes the property of a polar active unit to align or anti-align its orientation towards its velocity. In contrast to mutual alignment, where the headings of mul…
Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
Soft and stiff normal modes in floppy colloidal square lattices
Julio Melio, Silke E. Henkes, Daniela J. Kraft
Floppy microscale spring networks are widely studied in theory and simulations, but no well-controlled experimental system currently exists. Here, we show that square lattices cons…
Graph-informed simulation-based inference for models of active matter
Namid R. Stillman, Silke Henkes, Roberto Mayor +1
Many collective systems exist in nature far from equilibrium, ranging from cellular sheets up to flocks of birds. These systems reflect a form of active matter, whereby individual…
Mechano-chemical active feedback generates convergence extension in epithelial tissue
Aondoyima Ioratim-Uba, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, Silke Henkes
Convergence extension, the simultaneous elongation of tissue along one axis while narrowing along a perpendicular axis, occurs during embryonic development. A fundamental process t…
