Cellular organization in lab-evolved and extant multicellular species obeys a maximum entropy law
Thomas C. Day, Stephanie S. Hohn, Seyed A. Zamani-Dahaj +9
The prevalence of multicellular organisms is due in part to their ability to form complex structures. How cells pack in these structures is a fundamental biophysical issue, underly…
Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order in bacterial vortex lattices
Hugo Wioland, Francis G. Woodhouse, Jörn Dunkel +1
Despite their inherent non-equilibrium nature, living systems can self-organize in highly ordered collective states that share striking similarities with the thermodynamic equilibr…
Fluid Flows Created by Swimming Bacteria Drive Self-Organization in Confined Suspensions
Enkeleida Lushi, Hugo Wioland, Raymond E Goldstein
Concentrated suspensions of swimming microorganisms and other forms of active matter are known to display complex, self-organized spatio-temporal patterns on scales large compared…
Spontaneous ordering of a bacterial drop into a spiral vortex
Hugo Wioland, Enkeleida Lushi, Raymond E. Goldstein
In this fluid dynamics video we explore the nature and causes of the spontaneous ordering that emerges in a dense bacterial suspension under confinement. Recent experiments with B.…
Confinement Stabilizes a Bacterial Suspension into a Spiral Vortex
Hugo Wioland, Francis G. Woodhouse, Jörn Dunkel +2
Confining surfaces play crucial roles in dynamics, transport and order in many physical systems, but their effects on active matter, a broad class of dynamically self-organizing sy…
