We reveal a rich array of dynamical patterns in a 1D active solid as the strength of mechanochemical feedback is varied. The
In the video, at intermediate coupling strength, we see localized oscillation death of the mechanochemically coupled Hopf oscillators.
We show that patterns in 1D mechanochemical active solids can be governed by network symmetry and topology, rather than the detailed oscillator chemistry.
Grateful to my advisor @SumantraSarkar and @dewan_phanindra, Lakshman Santhosh Kumar, for this wonderful collaboration.
In the static regime, the electric and magnetic fields generated by point sources are the superposition of radial monopoles and dipoles.
Electric field:
∑ qᵢ (x − xᵢ) / ‖x − xᵢ‖³
Magnetic field:
∑ [3 rᵢ ⟨rᵢ, m⟩ − m] / ‖x − xᵢ‖³
where rᵢ = (x − xᵢ) / ‖x − xᵢ‖
A Neural Network Can Grow New Neurons Where It Is Confused?
In 1994, Bernd Fritzke published A Growing Neural Gas Network Learns Topologies. He introduced a network that starts small, follows incoming data, and inserts new neurons where its error is highest.
In the animation, the fog is the drifting data. The glowing nodes are neurons. The fibers are learned connections. The network grows into a living skeleton of the manifold.
Can we create efficient wireless communication channels with active molecular agents? @dewan_phanindra and I explore this question in the latest paper from @Physics_at_IISc. It is a potpourri of crowding, transport, and information theory. Link below.
Well it's Friday, and even my simulations have gone to the disco 🪩. You've heard of active hydrodynamics, but what about active discodynamics?

Found this incredible singer on internet thanks to Rana. It's a masterpiece, and I can't keep it to myself!

New paper from our group! We show that the actin cytoskeleton makes lipid diffusion temperature independent, making cell signaling robust to temperature fluctuation. Valiant efforts by @sauravvarma98 & @argha_mitra. Link 👇. @Physics_at_IISc@iiscbangalore
I’m very happy to share our paper in @CellCellPress on the spatial organization of GBM! https://t.co/2QVZn9lamj. Check out our tweetorial for a summary of our findings: https://t.co/VRu8n6xAx5. I wanted to share a few additional thoughts on its implications and some future directions. 1/
PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Learn how an imposed flow influences interfacial phase separation in liquid-liquid systems. Suzuki et al. look into the competition between flow rate and phase separation dynamics, giving insights into area growth behavior. https://t.co/97s2SrjEBA
New publication from my group. Led by PhD student Soumyadeep Mondal and collaborator Pankaj Popli, both twitter-less. In this paper, we study how topological defects evolve in polar active materials (actin cytoskeleton) and create patterns. Link👇 @Physics_at_IISc@iiscbangalore
The future is interdisciplinary. Approaches from theory to measurements to understand imp biol questions. Do these excite you?
