The effective interactions between the constituents of driven soft matter generically defy
Newton's third law. Combining theory and numerical simulations, we establish that six …

Protists ubiquitously live in nature and play key roles in the food web chain. Their habitats
consist of various geometrical structures, such as porous media and rigid surfaces, affecting …

We present a method to differentiate organisms solely by their motion based on the
generalized Langevin equation (GLE) and use it to distinguish two different swimming …

The humble Petri dish is perhaps the simplest setting in which to examine the locomotion of
swimming organisms, particularly those whose body size is tens of microns to millimeters …

Active emulsions can spontaneously form self-propelled droplets or phoretic micropumps.
However, it remains unclear how these active systems interact with their self-generated …

Earth's aquatic environments are inherently stratified layered systems where interfaces
between layers serve as ecological niches for microbial swimmers, forming colonies known …

Within biological fluid dynamics, it is conventional to distinguish between" puller" and"
pusher" microswimmers on the basis of the forward or aft location of the flagella relative to …

Biological microswimmers exhibit versatile taxis behaviors and switch between multiple
behavioral states to navigate the environment and search for physiologically favorable …
