Active fluids consist of self-propelled particles and display properties that differ strongly from their passive counter-parts. Unique physical phenomena, such as enhanced Brownian diffusivity, viscosity reduction or...

Manon Carrière: Exploring the head direction system in Danionella Cerebrum Head direction (HD) cells are neurons that activate maximally when an animal faces a specific, cell-dependent direction. Together, they...

Locomotion on natural terrain requires animals to navigate irregular surfaces with sparse footholds, yet most theoretical and experimental work has focused on locomotion on flat surfaces. We ask how locomotor theory...

Active matter describes systems whose constituents generate non-conservative forces on their environment, leading to the wealth of emergent phenomena encountered in the living world. To study their self-organization,...

Septins are a conserved family of GTPase proteins, found from yeast to humans, that assemble into filaments and rings. They play essential roles in cell division, polarity, and the maintenance of membrane...

Sebastien Billès: Joint evolution and scale separation In the field of artificial evolution, one often evolves a controller for a machine, and sometimes an embodiment for a simple controller. In this study, we aim...

During harmful algal blooms, the population of toxic microalgae increases dramatically and there is an alarming number of reports of respiratory distress, suggesting airborne transmission of biological matter. Sea...

Ajar Ayijel Title: Insight into the physics of DNA nanostar hydrogels Abstract: DNA nanostars are self-assembled structures formed from multiple single-stranded DNA strands. To form a hydrogel, the nanostars arms...
