Synchronized Rotations of Active Particles on Chemical Substrates
Soft Matter, 2024, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D3SM00452J, PaperPathma Eswaran, Shradha Mishra Many microorganisms use chemical `signaling' - a quintessential self-organizing strategy in non-equilibrium - that can induce spontaneous aggregation and coordination in behavior. Using synthetic signaling as a design principle, we... The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry (Source: RSC - Soft Matter latest articles)
