Phoretic flow in a three-dimensional wedge geometry
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Semyon Yakubovich, Maciej Lisicki
Understanding how chemically induced surface transport generates fluid motion in confined geometries is essential for the rational design of microscale pumping devices and active m…
Eukaryotic swimming cells are shaped by hydrodynamic constraints
Maciej Lisicki, Marcos F. Velho Rodrigues, Eric Lauga
Eukaryotic swimming cells such as spermatozoa, algae or protozoa use flagella or cilia to move in viscous fluids. The motion of their flexible appendages in the surrounding fluid i…
Pychastic: Precise Brownian Dynamics using Taylor-Itō integrators in Python
Radost Waszkiewicz, Maciej Bartczak, Kamil Kolasa +1
In the last decade, Python-powered physics simulations ecosystem has been growing steadily, allowing greater interoperability, and becoming an important tool in numerical explorati…
Rechargeable self-assembled droplet microswimmers driven by surface phase transitions
Diana Cholakova, Maciej Lisicki, Stoyan K. Smoukov +6
The design of artificial microswimmers is often inspired by the strategies of natural microorganisms. Many of these creatures exploit the fact that elasticity breaks the time-rever…
Hydrodynamic effects in the capture of rod-like molecules by a nanopore
Radost Waszkiewicz, Maciej Lisicki
In the approach of biomolecules to a nanopore, it is essential to capture the effects of hydrodynamic anisotropy of the molecules and the near-wall hydrodynamic interactions which…
Light-switchable propulsion of active particles with reversible interactions
Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri, Maciej Lisicki, Eric Lauga +1
Active systems such as microorganisms and self-propelled particles show a plethora of collective phenomena, including swarming, clustering, and phase separation. Control over the p…
Tuning upstream swimming of micro-robots by shape and cargo size
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Maciej Lisicki, Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen
The navigation of micro-robots in complex flow environments is controlled by rheotaxis, the reorientation with respect to flow gradients. Here we demonstrate how payloads can be ex…
Swimming eukaryotic microorganisms exhibit a universal speed distribution
Maciej Lisicki, Marcos F. Velho Rodrigues, Raymond E. Goldstein +1
One approach to quantifying biological diversity consists of characterizing the statistical distribution of specific properties of a taxonomic group or habitat. Microorganisms livi…
Autophoretic motion in three dimensions
Maciej Lisicki, Shang Yik Reigh, Eric Lauga
Janus particles with the ability to move phoretically in self-generated chemical concentration gradients are model systems for active matter. Their motion typically consists of str…
The non-Gaussian tops and tails of diffusing boomerangs
Lyndon Koens, Maciej Lisicki, Eric Lauga
Experiments involving the two-dimensional passive diffusion of colloidal boomerangs tracked off their centre of mobility have shown striking non-Gaussian tails in their probability…
Near-wall diffusion tensor of an axisymmetric colloidal particle
Maciej Lisicki, Bogdan Cichocki, Eligiusz Wajnryb
Hydrodynamic interactions with confining boundaries often lead to drastic changes in the diffusive behaviour of microparticles in suspensions. For axially symmetric particles, earl…
Near-Wall Dynamics of Concentrated Hard-Sphere Suspensions: Comparison of Evanescent Wave DLS Experiments, Virial Approximation and Simulations
Yi Liu, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Bogdan Cichocki +5
In this article we report on a study of the near-wall dynamics of suspended colloidal hard spheres over a broad range of volume fractions. We present a thorough comparison of exper…
