Contractile and chiral activities codetermine the helicity of swimming droplet trajectories
Tjhung, Elsen; Cates, Michael Elmhirst; Marenduzzo, D (National Academy of SciencesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017-05-02)Active fluids are a class of nonequilibrium systems where energy is injected into the system continuously by the constituent particles themselves. Many examples, such as bacterial suspensions and actomyosin networks, are ...

Pattern formation in chemically interacting active rotors with self-propulsion
Liebchen, B; Cates, Michael Elmhirst; Marenduzzo, D (Royal Society of ChemistrySoft Matter, 2016-09-21)We demonstrate that active rotations in chemically signalling particles, such as autochemotactic $\textit{E. coli}$ close to walls, create a route for pattern formation based on a nonlinear yet deterministic instability ...
