Adaptation refers to the biological phenomenon where living systems change their internal
states in response to changes in their environments in order to maintain certain key …

It is commonly believed that bacterial chemotaxis helps cells find food. However, not all
attractants are nutrients, and not all nutrients are strong attractants. Here, by using …

We explore minimal navigation strategies for active particles in complex, dynamical, external
fields, introducing a class of autonomous, self-propelled particles which we call Markovian …

Control of periodic sequential flows of multisolutions is invaluable in a variety of technology
and science applications, but it requires complex and expensive external controllers. Here …

Chemotaxis is the physical phenomenon that bacteria adjust their motions according to
chemical stimulus. A classical model for this phenomenon is a kinetic equation that …

Although bacterial chemotaxis behavior in a single gradient has been well studied,
chemotaxis of bacterial population in complex environments is not well understood. Here …

Microbial communities can survive in complex and variable environments by using different
cooperative strategies. However, the behaviors of these mutuality formed communities …

In response to a concentration gradient of chemoattractant, E. coli bacterium modulates the
rotational bias of flagellar motors which control its run-and-tumble motion, to migrate towards …

The mesoscopic collective motion of self-propelling active particle suspension is
experimentally investigated. The active particles are silica micro spheres with Au …

In this paper, we investigate the phase behaviors and dynamics of self-propelled particles
with active reorientation in double-well potential. We observe the self-propelled particles …
