A delightful outcome of an enjoyable collaboration combining two classical model systems, giant unilamellar vesicles and self-propelled particles, toward bio-inspired synthetic active-matter systems. Experiments at @ETH_en and high-performance computing @fz_juelich.

[Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri @VutukuriRao]

Finally out our paper in @nature: "Active particles induce large shape
deformations in giant lipid vesicles".Thanks to all my coauthors @JanVermant,Gerhard,@FedosovDA,@tabajure,Masoud, Clara, Ale,Lennard! Fruitful collaboration between @ETH_en&@fz_juelich

Funded by the DFG Priority Programme SPP 2332 "Physics of Parasitism" @ParasitePhysics. Our work suggests that host-membrane tension reduces the invasion of apicomplexan parasites. With Nishant Baruah, @JiarulMidya, Gerhard Gompper, and @anildasanna.

[Thorsten Auth @tabajure]

Check out Nishant's paper on the translocation of vesicles through membrane-covered pores:
- There is a critical size below which pores become impassable for prolate vesicles.
- Membrane tension hinders pore translocation.

How do active Brownian particles behave in an alignment field? We used computer simulations to investigate gas-liquid phase coexistence, critical points, and spinodal decomposition. Dive into the details in our new paper in @PhysRevE! https://t.co/9TQXPGkfgp #ABPs #ActiveMatter
