Abstract: Active turbulence describes a flow regime that is erratic, and yet endowed with a characteristic length scale1. It arises in animate soft-matter systems as diverse as bacterial baths2, cell tissues3 and reconstituted cytoskeletal preparations4. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevx.9.031051
Abstract: Active nematics contain topological defects which under sufficient activity move, create and annihilate in a chaotic quasi-steady state, called active turbulence. However, understanding active defects under confinement is an open challenge, especially in three-dimensions. Here,… read more here.
