Programmable Hydrodynamics of Active Particles
Lisa Rohde, Gordei Anchutkin, Viktor Holubec +1
Self-propelled microparticles create flow fields that determine how they interact with surfaces, external flows, and each other. These flow fields fall into distinct classes--pushe…

Physical Embodiment Enables Information Processing Beyond Explicit Sensing in Active Matter
Diptabrata Paul, Nikola Milosevic, Nico Scherf +1
Living microorganisms have evolved dedicated sensory machinery to detect environmental perturbations, processing these signals through biochemical networks to guide behavior. Repli…
