Movement of individual organisms is fundamental to life, quilting our planet in a rich tapestry
of phenomena with diverse implications for ecosystems and humans. Movement research is …

▪ Abstract Flagellated bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, swim by rotating thin helical
filaments, each driven at its base by a reversible rotary motor, powered by an ion flux. A …

This work deals with the topic of information processing over graphs. The presentation is
largely self-contained and covers results that relate to the analysis and design of multi-agent …

Turbulence is ubiquitous, from oceanic currents to small-scale biological and quantum
systems. Self-sustained turbulent motion in microbial suspensions presents an intriguing …

Cell motility in viscous fluids is ubiquitous and affects many biological processes, including
reproduction, infection and the marine life ecosystem. Here we review the biophysical and …

We explain the biology and physics underlying the chemotactic (foraging) behavior of E. coli
bacteria. We explain a variety of bacterial swarming and social foraging behaviors and …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Physical Biology of the Cell is a textbook for a first course in physical biology or biophysics
for undergraduate or graduate students. It maps the huge and complex landscape of cell …

Statistical mechanics is our tool for deriving the laws that emerge from complex systems.
Sethna's text distills the subject to be accessible to those in all realms of science and …

Near a solid boundary, Escherichia coli swims in clockwise circular motion. We provide a
hydrodynamic model for this behavior. We show that circular trajectories are natural …
