Confinement controls bacterial spreading at all scales
Renaud Baillou, Marta Pedrosa Garcia-Moreno, Quentin Guigue +5
Navigation of microorganisms is controlled by internal processes ultimately sensitive to mechanical or chemical signaling encountered along the path. In many natural environments,…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Microscopic Structural Transition and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Magnetic Gels
Xuefeng Wei, Gaspard Junot, Ramin Golestanian +4
Magnetic gels with embedded micro/nano-sized magnetic particles in crosslinked polymer networks can be actuated by external magnetic fields, with changes in their internal microsco…
Bidirectional Zigzag Growth from Clusters of Active Colloidal Shakers
Gaspard Junot, Andrés Javier Manzano González, Pietro Tierno
Driven or self-propelling particles moving in viscoelastic fluids recently emerge as novel class of active systems showing a complex yet rich set of phenomena due to the non-Newton…
Large scale zigzag pattern emerging from circulating active shakers
Gaspard Junot, Marco De Corato, Pietro Tierno
We report the emergence of large zigzag bands in a population of reversibly actuated magnetic rotors that behave as active shakers, namely squirmers that shake the fluid around the…
