Journal ArticleDOI

Chiral Sign Induction by Vortices During the Formation of Mesophases in Stirred Solutions

TL;DR: The unexpected result is that the chirality sign of these homoassociates can be selected by vortex motion during the aggregation process and this result is confirmed by means of circular dichroism spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatiotemporal order out of noise

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the mechanisms through which noise induces, enhances, and sustains ordered behavior in passive and active nonlinear media, and different spatiotemporal phenomena are described resulting from these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled swimming in confined fluids of magnetically actuated colloidal rotors.

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA-linked anisotropic doublets composed of paramagnetic colloidal particles can be endowed with controlled propulsion when floating above a flat plate and subjected to a magnetic field precessing around an axis parallel to the plate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 2020 motile active matter roadmap

TL;DR: The 2019 motile active matter roadmap of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter addresses the current state of the art of the field and provides guidance for both students as well as established scientists in their efforts to advance this fascinating area as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taming Winfree Turbulence of Scroll Waves in Excitable Media

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that winfree turbulence of scroll waves can readily be controlled by weak nonresonant modulation of the medium excitability.
