Unusual swelling of a polymer in a bacterial bath
Andreas Kaiser, Hartmut Löwen
The equilibrium structure and dynamics of a single polymer chain in a thermal solvent is by now well-understood in terms of scaling laws. Here we consider a polymer in a bacterial…
Differently Shaped Hard Body Colloids in Confinement: From passive to active particles
Henricus H. Wensink, Hartmut Löwen, Matthieu Marechal +5
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of anisotropic hard colloidal particles. The shapes considered range from rods and dumbbells to rounded cubes, polyhedra an…
Capturing self-propelled particles in a moving microwedge
A. Kaiser, K. Popowa, H. H. Wensink +1
Catching fish with a fishing net is typically done either by dragging a fishing net through quiescent water or by placing a stationary basket trap into a stream. We transfer these…
How to capture active particles
A. Kaiser, H. H. Wensink, H. Löwen
For many applications, it is important to catch collections of autonomously navigating microbes and man-made microswimmers in a controlled way. Here we propose an efficient trap to…
