Active micromachines: Microfluidics powered by mesoscale turbulence
Sumesh P. Thampi, Amin Doostmohammadi, Tyler N. Shendruk +2
Dense active matter, from bacterial suspensions and microtubule bundles driven by motor proteins to cellular monolayers and synthetic Janus particles, is characterised by mesoscale…
Active turbulence in active nematics
Sumesh P. Thampi, Julia M. Yeomans
Dense, active systems show active turbulence, a state characterised by flow fields that are chaotic, with continually changing velocity jets and swirls. Here we review our current…
Defect-mediated morphologies in growing cell colonies
Amin Doostmohammadi, Sumesh P. Thampi, Julia M. Yeomans
Morphological trends in growing colonies of living cells are at the core of physiological and evolutionary processes. Using active gel equations, which include cell division, we sh…
