Shape-specific fluctuations of an active colloidal interface
Arvin Subramaniam, Tirthankar Banerjee, Rajesh Singh
Motivated by a recently synthesizable class of active interfaces formed by linked self--propelled colloids, we investigate the dynamics and fluctuations of a phoretically (chemical…

Hydrodynamics of pulsating active liquids
Tirthankar Banerjee, Thibault Desaleux, Jonas Ranft +1
Inspired by dense contractile tissues, where cells are subject to periodic deformation, we formulate and study a generic hydrodynamic theory of pulsating active liquids. Combining…

Contraction waves in pulsating active liquids: From pacemaker to aster dynamics
Tirthankar Banerjee, Thibault Desaleux, Jonas Ranft +1
We propose a hydrodynamic theory to examine the emergence of contraction waves in dense active liquids composed of pulsating deformable particles. Our theory couples the liquid den…
