Spiral wave propagation in communities with spatially correlated heterogeneity
Xiaoling Zhai, Joseph W. Larkin, Gürol M. Süel +1
Many multicellular communities propagate signals in a directed manner via excitable waves. Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is a ubiquitous feature of multicellular communities, but the…

Statistics of correlated percolation in a bacterial community
Xiaoling Zhai, Joseph W. Larkin, Kaito Kikuchi +3
Signal propagation over long distances is a ubiquitous feature of multicellular communities. In biofilms of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, we recently discovered that some, but n…

Direct and Scalable Chemical Vapor Deposition of Ultrathin Low-Noise MoS2 Membranes on Apertures
Pradeep Waduge, Ismail Bilgin, Joseph Larkin +6
We show that atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals can grow without any underlying substrates into free-standing atomically-thin layers, maintaining their planar 2D…
