Active fluids exhibit spontaneous flows with complex spatiotemporal structure, which have
been observed in bacterial suspensions, sperm cells, cytoskeletal suspensions, self …

Controlling interfaces of phase-separating fluid mixtures is key to the creation of diverse
functional soft materials. Traditionally, this is accomplished with surface-modifying chemical …

Coupling between flows and material properties imbues rheological matter with its wide-
ranging applicability, hence the excitement for harnessing the rheology of active fluids for …

The importance of physical forces in the morphogenesis, homeostatic function, and
pathological dysfunction of multicellular tissues is being increasingly characterized, both …

In this work, we report a direct measurement of the forces exerted by a tubulin/kinesin active
nematic gel as well as its complete rheological characterization, including the quantification …

We investigate the dynamics of mobile inclusions embedded in 2D active nematics. The
interplay between the inclusion shape, boundary-induced nematic order, and autonomous …

The conformational and dynamical properties of isolated flexible active polar linear polymers
(APLPs) are studied analytically. The APLPs are modeled as Gaussian bead-spring linear …

Active processes drive biological dynamics across various scales and include subcellular
cytoskeletal remodelling, tissue development in embryogenesis and the population-level …

We study the interplay of steric and hydrodynamic interactions in suspensions of elongated
microswimmers by simulating the full hydrodynamics of squirmer rods in the quasi two …

Confinement can be used to systematically tame turbulent dynamics occurring in active
fluids. Although periodic channels are the simplest geometries to study confinement …
