Controlling Colloidal Flow through a Microfluidic Y-junction
Alexander P. Antonov, Matthew Terkel, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl +3
Microscopic particles flowing through narrow channels may accumulate near bifurcation points provoking flow reduction, clogging and ultimately chip breakage. Here we show that the…
Motility-induced shear thickening in dense colloidal suspensions
A. Gülce Bayram, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Hartmut Löwen +1
Phase transitions and collective dynamics of active colloidal suspensions are fascinating topics in soft matter physics, particularly for out-of-equilibrium systems, which can lead…
Stability of interlocked self-propelled dumbbell clusters
Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Abraham Maulean-Amieva, C. Patrick Royall +1
Combining experimental observations of Quincke roller clusters with computer simulations and a stability analysis, we explore the formation and stability of two interlocked self-pr…
Collective mechano-response dynamically tunes cell-size distributions in growing bacterial colonies
René Wittmann, G. H. Philipp Nguyen, Hartmut Löwen +2
Mechanical stresses stemming from environmental factors are a key determinant of cellular behavior and physiology. Yet, the role of self-induced biomechanical stresses in growing b…
Active particles using reinforcement learning to navigate in complex motility landscapes
Paul A. Monderkamp, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Michael A. Klatt +1
As the length scales of the smallest technology continue to advance beyond the micron scale it becomes increasingly important to equip robotic components with the means for intelli…
Active Colloids in Harmonic Optical Potentials
Ivo Buttinoni, Lorenzo Caprini, Laura Alvarez +2
We study the motion of active patchy colloids in an optical trap using experiments, theory and numerical simulations. To achieve isotropic and harmonic confinement, we prototype mi…
