Active cholesterics: odder than odd elasticity
S. J. Kole, Gareth P. Alexander, Sriram Ramaswamy +1
In equilibrium liquid crystals, chirality leads to a variety of spectacular three-dimensional structures, but chiral and achiral phases with the same broken continuous symmetries h…
Clustering and ordering in cell assemblies with generic asymmetric aligning interactions
Thibault Bertrand, Joseph d'Alessandro, Ananyo Maitra +5
Collective cell migration plays an essential role in various biological processes, such as development or cancer proliferation. While cell-cell interactions are clearly key determi…
Stable long-range uniaxial order in active fluids at two-dimensional interfaces
Ananyo Maitra
I show that two-dimensional nematic order in an active fluid film can be stable and long-ranged if exchange of particles and momentum with an ambient three-dimensional fluid is all…
Chiral active hexatics: Giant number fluctuations, waves and destruction of order
Ananyo Maitra, Martin Lenz, Raphael Voituriez
Active materials, composed of internally driven particles, have properties that are qualitatively distinct from matter at thermal equilibrium. However, the most spectacular departu…
