Acoustic signaling enables collective perception and control in active matter systems
Alexander Ziepke, Ivan Maryshev, Igor S. Aranson +1
Emergent cooperative functionality in active matter systems plays a crucial role in various applications of active swarms, ranging from pollutant foraging and collective threat det…
Suppression of bacterial rheotaxis in wavy channels
Winfried Schmidt, Igor S. Aranson, Walter Zimmermann
Controlling the swimming behavior of bacteria is crucial, for example, to prevent contamination of ducts and catheters. We show the bacteria modeled by deformable microswimmers can…
Confinement and collective escape of active particles
Igor S. Aranson, Arkady Pikovsky
Active matter broadly covers the dynamics of self-propelled particles. While the onset of collective behavior in homogenous active systems is relatively well understood, the effect…
Control of microswimmers by spiral nematic vortices: transition from individual to collective motion and contraction, expansion, and stable circulation of bacterial swirls
Runa Koizumi, Taras Turiv, Mikhail M. Genkin +6
Active systems comprised of self-propelled units show fascinating transitions from Brownian-like dynamics to collective coherent motion. Swirling of swimming bacteria is a spectacu…
3-D Printed Swimming Microtori for Cargo Transport and Flow Manipulation
Remmi Baker, Thomas Montenegro-Johnson, Anton D. Sediako +4
Through billions of years of evolution, microorganisms mastered unique swimming behaviors to thrive in complex fluid environments. Limitations in nanofabrication have thus far hind…
Polar jets of swimming bacteria condensed by a patterned liquid crystal
Taras Turiv, Runa Koizumi, Kristian Thijssen +8
Active matter exhibits remarkable collective behavior in which flows, continuously generated by active particles, are intertwined with the orientational order of these particles. T…
