Droplet tilings in precessive fields: hysteresis, elastic defects, and annealing
Anton Molina, Manu Prakash
Two-component Marangoni contracted droplets can be arranged into arbitrary two-dimensional tiling patterns where they display rich dynamics due to vapor mediated long-range interac…
Hidden Comet-Tails of Marine Snow Impede Ocean-based Carbon Sequestration
Rahul Chajwa, Eliott Flaum, Kay D. Bidle +2
Global carbon-cycle on our planet ties together the living and the non-living world, coupling ecosystem function to our climate. Gravity driven downward flux of carbon in our ocean…
Active dislocations and topological traps govern dynamics of spiraling filamentous cyanobacteria
Xingting Gong, Manu Prakash
Activity can organize matter in unique configurations inaccessible to equilibrium systems, including a sundry of spiraling shapes seen in nature that range from galaxies to living…
Inkwell: Design and Validation of a Low-Cost Open Electricity-Free 3D Printed Device for Automated Thin Smearing of Whole Blood
Jerome Nowak, Anesta Kothari, Hongquan Li +3
Microscopy plays a crucial role in hematology and diagnosis of infectious diseases worldwide. For malaria alone, more than 200 million slides are read by manual microscopists every…
Self-learning mechanical circuits
Vishal P. Patil, Ian Ho, Manu Prakash
Computation, mechanics and materials merge in biological systems, which can continually self-optimize through internal adaptivity across length scales, from cytoplasm and biofilms…
Vortex arrays and ciliary tangles underlie the feeding-swimming tradeoff in starfish larvae
William Gilpin, Vivek N. Prakash, Manu Prakash
Many marine invertebrates have larval stages covered in linear arrays of beating cilia, which propel the animal while simultaneously entraining planktonic prey. These bands are str…
