Topological Mixing and Braiding Universality in Polar Active Matter
Wei Feng, Tianyu Ren, Zhihan Ye +2
Connecting the autonomous kinematics of active matter to its emergent macroscopic transport is constrained by the requirement for high-resolution Eulerian velocity fields. Here, we…

Edge slip stabilizes confined active vortices by suppressing localized instabilities
Zhihan Ye, Tianyu Ren, Hao Luo +2
Confined active systems can sustain persistent vortical flows whose stability is strongly influenced by boundary conditions. At the individual level, active units generate internal…
