Population-Scale Advancing Interface Modeling Reveals How Bacterial Swarms Encode Future Spatial Architecture
Shengyou Duan, Zhaoyang Wang, Kaiyi Xiong +5
Motile bacteria shape microbial function by occupying space, yet how collective motion becomes population-scale architecture remains poorly resolved. Bacterial swarming is not mere…
