Magnetic microswimmers exhibit Bose-Einstein-like condensation
Fanlong Meng, Daiki Matsunaga, Benoît Mahault +1
We study an active matter system comprised of magnetic microswimmers confined in a microfluidic channel and show that it exhibits a new type of self-organized behavior. Combining a…
Modelling Mullins Effect Induced by Chain Delamination and Reattachment
Daoyuan Qian, Fanlong Meng
We propose a continuum theory to model the Mullins effect, which is ubiquitously observed in polymer composites. In the theory, the softening of the materials during the stretching…
Designing metachronal waves of cilia
Fanlong Meng, Rachel R. Bennett, Nariya Uchida +1
On surfaces with many motile cilia, beats of the individual cilia coordinate to form metachronal waves. We present a theoretical framework that connects the dynamics of an individu…
Drying Pathways of an Evaporating Soft Matter Droplet
Guangle Du, Fangfu Ye, Masao Doi +1
Micro-droplets of soft matter solutions have different morphologies upon drying, and can finally become wrinkled, buckled or cavitated particles. We investigate the morphology evol…
Degenerate states, emergent dynamics and fluid mixing by magnetic rotors
Takuma Kawai, Daiki Matsunaga, Fanlong Meng +2
We investigate the collective motion of magnetic rotors suspended in a viscous fluid under an uniform rotating magnetic field. The rotors are positioned on a square lattice, and lo…
