Engineering reaction-diffusion networks with properties of neural tissue
Thomas Litschel, Michael M. Norton, Vardges Tserunyan +1
We present an experimental system of networks of coupled non-linear chemical reactors, which we theoretically model within a reaction-diffusion framework. The networks consist of p…
Insensitivity of active nematic dynamics to topological constraints
Michael M. Norton, Arvind Baskaran, Achini Opathalage +4
Confining a liquid crystal imposes topological constraints on the orientational order, allowing global control of equilibrium systems by manipulation of anchoring boundary conditio…
Transition from turbulent to coherent flows in confined three-dimensional active fluids
Kun-Ta Wu, Jean Bernard Hishamunda, Daniel T. N. Chen +5
Transport of fluid through a pipe is essential for the operation of macroscale machines and microfluidic devices. Conventional fluids only flow in response to external pressure. We…
