This is a fascinating question in the physics of active matter, which deals with systems whose individual components continuously consume energy to produce motion. Examples in nature include the tiny hair-like structures called cilia, which beat rhythmically to move fluids, and biological filaments driven by molecular motors. Our research explores how such movements and patterns can emerge from simple physical...]]></description><link>https://www.softlivinglab.in/post/kinetically-arrested-periodic-clusters-in-active-filament-arrays</link><guid isPermaLink="false">681b6f486c11e6ddb85094a1</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2025 14:38:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5ebb28_c520aa019cb24399aff12bd8b58e8366~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Rohit Prodhan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Topological dynamics of rapid non-planar gaits in slithering snakes]]></title><description><![CDATA[Snakes exhibit a wide variety of gaits, including gliding in air and sidewinding on land, which is particularly notable for its out-of-plane motion. Here we report the observation of another non-planar gait used as an escape strategy from threatening situations by juvenile anacondas (Eunectes notaeus), which we refer to as the S-start due to its shape. In this transient mode of locomotion, the snake writhes and bends out of the plane while rolling forward about its midsection without...]]></description><link>https://www.softlivinglab.in/post/topological-dynamics-of-rapid-non-planar-gaits-in-slithering-snakes</link><guid isPermaLink="false">681b6a1a0ac880cb16686dd9</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2025 14:15:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5ebb28_5617c5d9b7264adfae8b0b768beec4a2~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Rohit Prodhan</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
