You might expect active matter to become more active if you fire it up. Here the opposite happens! - Prashanth Ramesh has frozen his microswimmers by heating and will tell you all about it here: https://t.co/eBCqMLLaKe
Thrilled to see this paper published @PNASNews!
Check it out at https://t.co/sDAKJ512HA.
In it, we describe how swimming bacterial suspensions spontaneously organize themselves in unexpected ways when oxygen starts running out.

Imagine being able to manipulate the movement of #microswimmers. By using electric fields and pressure-driven flow, scientists now developed a navigation system for microswimmers with potential for micro-robotic and biotechnological applications.

Let's have a drink ... or two ... or three ... to celebrate!
Our article on Mathematical Billiard with Spatial Memory is now out @PhysRevLett

Here is a short thread 🧵on what we have done.
Might be of your interest if you like active matter, memory, topology, chaos, etc. or simply mathematical games 👾
Wonderful job of @SGHuisman and @VatsalSanjay making this tough selection of topics from our last 5 years of research, to celebrate 25 years of @poftwente
I think there should be a group administrator appreciation day. Especially if they're gardening wizards to boot. (well, we all know that along with techies and lab managers they are the only truly indispensable people around) 💚💚💚
Excited to share our latest work on the captivating "Interfacial activity dynamics of confined active droplets" now published @JFluidMech
A great collaboration with @activedroplets, @AJTM_M, and Mitya Pushkin.

Now out in @ACSnano! @yogeshpshelke showed how directional interactions and controlled flexibility can be added to colloidal molecules. Great collaboration with @fabriziocamerin, Susana Marin-Aguilar, @RubenVerweij and Marjolein Dijkstra #ERC

The latest issue of Scientific American @sciam features an article on our study of chloroplast positioning and their active glassy behaviour in plant cells (with @nicoschramma @CintiaPerugachi)

@rjamstevens@poftwente@UTwente@NWONieuws Yep, really enjoyed chairing once I managed to find the room more or less on time (is that chairotaxis?) Great selection of talks and the discussion was pretty much self-organising.
This was a pleasure to write (and hopefully fun to read). Special thanks @Taryn_MacKinney for great editorial work, and to friends and colleagues @PRX_Life@FakhriLab@vinsub@SquishyPhysics and others for their kind words.
