Interactions and pattern formation in a macroscopic magnetocapillary SALR system of mermaid cereal

A Hooshanginejad, JW Barotta, V Spradlin… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
When particles are deposited at a fluid interface they tend to aggregate by capillary
attraction to minimize the overall potential energy of the system. In this work, we embed …

Ground states of stealthy hyperuniform potentials: I. Entropically favored configurations

Starvation-induced collective behavior in C. elegans

AB Artyukhin, JJ Yim, M Cheong Cheong, L Avery - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
We describe a new type of collective behavior in C. elegans nematodes, aggregation of
starved L1 larvae. Shortly after hatching in the absence of food, L1 larvae arrest their …
