Control of microswimmers by spiral nematic vortices: transition from individual to collective motion and contraction, expansion, and stable circulation of bacterial swirls
Runa Koizumi, Taras Turiv, Mikhail M. Genkin +6
Active systems comprised of self-propelled units show fascinating transitions from Brownian-like dynamics to collective coherent motion. Swirling of swimming bacteria is a spectacu…
Topology control of human cells monolayer by liquid crystal elastomer
Taras Turiv, Jess Krieger, Greta Babakhanova +5
Biological cells in living tissues form dynamic patterns with local orientational order and topological defects. Here we demonstrate an approach to produce cell monolayer with the…
Polar jets of swimming bacteria condensed by a patterned liquid crystal
Taras Turiv, Runa Koizumi, Kristian Thijssen +8
Active matter exhibits remarkable collective behavior in which flows, continuously generated by active particles, are intertwined with the orientational order of these particles. T…
