Swimming Euglena respond to confinement with a behavioural change enabling effective crawling
Giovanni Noselli, Alfred Beran, Marino Arroyo +1
Some euglenids, a family of aquatic unicellular organisms, can develop highly concerted, large-amplitude peristaltic body deformations. This remarkable behaviour has been known for…
Smart helical structures inspired by the pellicle of euglenids
Giovanni Noselli, Marino Arroyo, Antonio DeSimone
This paper deals with a concept for a reconfigurable structure bio-inspired by the cell wall architecture of euglenids, a family of unicellular protists, and based on the relative…
Mechanics of axisymmetric sheets of interlocking and slidable rods
D. Riccobelli, G. Noselli, M. Arroyo +1
In this work, we study the mechanics of metamaterial sheets inspired by the pellicle of Euglenids. They are composed of interlocking elastic rods which can freely slide along their…
