Chiral active membranes: Odd mechanics, spontaneous flows, and shape instabilities
SC Al-Izzi, GP Alexander - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
Living systems are chiral on multiple scales, from constituent biopolymers to large scale
morphology, and their active mechanics is both driven by chiral components and serves to …

Helicoids and vortices
H Chen, D Freese - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We point out an interesting connection between fluid dynamics and minimal surface theory:
When gluing helicoids into a minimal surface, the limit positions of the helicoids correspond …
