Emergence of self-organized multivortex states in flocks of active rollers [Applied Physical Sciences]

Active matter, both synthetic and biological, demonstrates complex spatiotemporal self-organization and the emergence of collective behavior. A coherent rotational motion, the vortex phase, is of great interest because of its ability to orchestrate well-organized motion of self-propelled particles over large distances. However, its generation without geometrical confinement has been a...

Mimicry of a biophysical pathway leads to diverse pollen-like surface patterns [Applied Physical Sciences]

A ubiquitous structural feature in biological systems is texture in extracellular matrix that gains functions when hardened, for example, cell walls, insect scales, and diatom tests.

Loss of the neural-specific BAF subunit ACTL6B relieves repression of early response genes and causes recessive autism [Neuroscience]

Synaptic activity in neurons leads to the rapid activation of genes involved in mammalian behavior.

However, the mechanisms keeping such “early activation” genes silent have been a mystery. In the course...

For example, solar heating of Earth’s surface generates buoyancy forces that cause the winds...
