Passive cell body plays active roles in microalgal swimming via nonreciprocal interactions
Xiaoping Hu, Zhaorong Liu, Da Wei +1
The cell body of flagellated microalgae is commonly considered to act merely as a passive load during swimming, and a larger body size would simply reduce the speed. In this work,…

Confinement reduces surface accumulation of swimming bacteria
Da Wei, Shiyuan Hu, Tangmiao Tang +3
Many swimming bacteria naturally inhabit confined environments, yet how confinement influences their swimming behaviors remains unclear. Here, we combine experiments, continuum mod…
