Magnetotaxis in droplet microswimmers
Martin W. Wagner, Freek Domburg, Carsten Krüger +4
Magnetotaxis is a well known phenomenon in swimming microorganisms which sense magnetic fields e.g. by incorporating crystalline magnetosomes. In designing artificial active matter…
Collective entrainment and confinement amplify transport by schooling micro-swimmers
Chenyu Jin, Yibo Chen, Corinna C. Maass +1
Micro-swimmers can serve as cargo carriers that move deep inside complex flow networks. When a school collectively entrains the surrounding fluid, their transport capacity can be e…
Emergence of bimodal motility in active droplets
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Ranabir Dey, Maziyar Jalaal +5
To explore and react to their environment, living micro-swimmers have developed sophisticated strategies for locomotion - in particular, motility with multiple gaits. To understand…
A fine balance of chemotactic and hydrodynamic torques: when microswimmers orbit a pillar just once
Chenyu Jin, Jérémy Vachier, Soumya Bandyopadhyay +2
We study the detention statistics of self-propelling droplet microswimmers attaching to microfluidic pillars. These droplets show negative autochemotaxis: they shed a persistent re…
Topological Stabilization and Dynamics of Self-propelling Nematic Shells
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Kyle A. Baldwin, Carsten Krüger +2
Liquid shells (e.g. double emulsions, vesicles etc.) are susceptible to interfacial instability and rupturing when driven out of mechanical equilibrium. This poses a significant ch…
