Magnetic active matter across scales
Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Margaret Rosenberg, Marco Musacchio +2
Magnetic interactions provide a versatile and powerful tool for controlling and organizing active matter, where individual units continuously consume energy to drive autonomous mot…
Emergence of beating in a magnetic flagellum consisting of active bots
Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Daniel Hernández, Nicolás Quintriqueo +2
We investigate the emergence of flagellar beating in chains of magnetic self--propelled particles (MSPPs) built from centimeter--scale vibrating robots (Hexbugs) with embedded neod…
Collective phases in overdamped magnetic self-propelled spherocylinders
Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Néstor Sepúlveda
We study the collective dynamics of self-propelled spherocylinders carrying magnetic dipole moments in two dimensions. Magnetic interactions are modeled as two opposite monopoles $…
Macroscopic bioinspired magnetic active matter and the physical limits of magnetotaxis
Néstor Sepúlveda, Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Miguel Carrasco +4
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are endowed with an exquisite orientation mechanism allowing them to swim along the geomagnetic field lines. This mechanism consists of a chain of bio-…
Confined floating active carpets generate coherent vortical flows that enhance transport
Felipe A. Barros, Italo Salas, Enkeleida Lushi +1
Slicks are thin viscous films that can be found at the air--water interface of water bodies such as lakes, rivers and oceans. These micro-layers are enriched in surfactants, organi…
Micro-swimmer locomotion and hydrodynamics in Brinkman Flows
Francisca Guzman-Lastra, Enkeleida Lushi
Micro-swimmer locomotion in heterogeneous media is increasingly relevant in biological physics due to the prevalence of microorganisms in complex environments. A model for such por…
