Phase coexistence in nonreciprocal quorum-sensing active matter

Y Duan, J Agudo-Canalejo, R Golestanian… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Motility and nonreciprocity are two primary mechanisms for self-organization in active matter.
In a recent study [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 148301 (2023)], we explored their joint influence in a …

Motility-Induced Phase Separation Mediated by Bacterial Quorum Sensing

WJM Ridgway, MP Dalwadi, P Pearce, SJ Chapman - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We study motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) in living active matter, in which cells
interact through chemical signaling, or quorum sensing. In contrast to previous theories of …

Self-organized Patterns in Predator-Prey Droplet Systems

Y Liu, R Kailasham, P Moerman, A Khair, L Zarzar - 2024 - chemrxiv.org
Non-equilibrium patterns are widespread in nature and often arise from the self-organization
of constituents through nonreciprocal chemotactic interactions. In this study, we demonstrate …
