Fun fact: disk-like swimmers self-propelling in a fluid flow automatically follow time-optimal paths without steering! This and much more on how shape influences navigation in our work w\ @RGolestanian @andrejvilfan and B. Mahault out in @PhysRevResearch

@LastraFrancisca @LivMatPhys Thank you Francisca! 😁

[Living Matter Physics @LivMatPhys]

Congrats to Lorenzo Piro @LorenzoPiro4, our first PhD graduate! After a defense with flying colours, the award ceremony followed last Friday. As per Göttingen tradition, he then climbed the Gänseliesel (goose girl) fountain, brought her flowers & gave her a kiss. Well done!

... an emergent trade-off between exploration efficiency and stability, which, depending on the context and the desired task, must be taken into consideration for the design of the corresponding navigation policy. (2/2)

[Lorenzo Piro @LorenzoPiro4]

Escape or explore? That is the question.

Take a look at our new paper https://t.co/Z9GfY0VFja with @RGolestanian and Benoît Mahault just published in a special issue of @FrontPhysics!

How can microswimmers reach a target in the shortest time without losing their autonomy?
Check out our latest work https://t.co/6Eobm5rxeC with Benoît Mahault and @RGolestanian recently published in @NJPhysics to learn more!

Sometimes, making a detour is faster. Researchers from our institute developed novel navigation strategies for microscopic swimmers in currents - while still preserving the autonomy of the microswimmer.

We are happy to announce the next public lecture hosted by the Living Matter Physics department of @RGolestanian : @LorenzoPiro4
will talk about "Optimal navigation strategies in complex and noisy environments". More information & zoom login data: https://t.co/Q1O66s1TWv

[Ramin Golestanian @RGolestanian]

Well done, Lorenzo @LorenzoPiro4, for this work. It was also fun for me to go back to using Finsler geometry, which came out of the 1918 PhD thesis of Paul Finsler at @uniGoettingen under Constantin Caratheodory.

[Lorenzo Piro @LorenzoPiro4]

Our work w/ E.Tang and @RGolestanian on optimal navigation strategies for microswimmers on curved surfaces is now available online in @PhysRevResearch!
We show that this problem can be elegantly solved via geodesics of an asymmetric metric of GR.

Inspired by the behaviour of moths, researchers @ictpnews have developed a novel collective search algorithm for locating the source of an odour. https://t.co/Z4SGicOWaI

Flocking organisms can quickly find smells if they trust their neighbors’ noses over their own.
