🚨 Article published in Physical Review Letters! We investigate how laminar-turbulent patterns emerge before tipping in shear flows. Using a minimal model, we show how fluctuations select pattern wavelength, leading to a saddle-loop bifurcation and solitary pulses: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

An exercise about ants and first passage processes, solved through the bounded diffusion equation (Exercise 3, Unit 12, B3, MS327, OU). Within my brain, the concept of ants is associated to Hofstadter’s masterpiece: the GEB, specially, to both the Prelude and … Ant Fugue.

New group article led by J. Fojo during his master in Soft Matter Royal Society of Chemistry, on 2D percolated networks of colloidal rods! This article forms part of the collection in honour of our collegue Stefan Egelhaaf. Thank to eveyone who made it possible! Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal

My lecture “Nonequilibrium Field Theories and Stochastic Dynamics” is now on YouTube! Here a short film on my teaching philosophy. Watch lectures here: m.youtube.com/@PhysicsOfLife…

So happy to be joined to this amazing group!! Thanks Laura Alvarez

Scientists Cell Press reviewed 408 YouTube clips of sleeping cats and found 2/3 curled up on their left side. Here’s the neuroscience behind why:🧵 (Please watch their video abstract I put on the last post - it’s 100% worth it)

Cool work of my friend Zhengyang Liu !!!

What a fascinating work!! Must be shared. 🥹 pubs.aip.org/aip/pof/articl…

Interested in living/active matter? I will be giving a Royal Society of Chemistry "desktop seminar" webinar on August 5, describing our recent work studying bacterial growth in complex fluids, along with my friend & intellectual hero Kate Stebe (U. Penn)! Register at: rsc.zoom.us/webinar/regist….

One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “Self-reproduction as an autonomous process of growth and reorganization in fully abiotic, artificial and synthetic cells.” Explore now: ow.ly/sNSc50WJtWj For more trending articles, visit ow.ly/9mHY50WJtWi.

📢 PRFluids Editors' suggestion: How do active and passive fluids interact? When confined, the stability of a passive droplet surrounded by an active fluid (and vice versa) is governed by the competition of capillary, active, elastic, and viscous stresses. go.aps.org/4oNPzz3

This study applies active gel theory to myosin isoforms to demonstrate their complementary roles for #CellMigration, highlighting the importance of isoform-specific molecular details to understand behavior of the whole cell. Check it out: go.aps.org/47giRQG

In chaotic systems, the smallest fluctuations get amplified. As scientist Edward Lorenz put it in the 1960s and 70s, even a seagull flapping its wings might eventually make a big difference to the weather. quantamagazine.org/hidden-chaos-f…

Our latest paper, "Inferring activity from the flow field around active colloidal particles using deep learning", has been published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20…
