New preprint! How do traction forces produce motion in cell groups? Combining experiments and theory, we relate the velocity of cell groups to the asymmetries in their traction forces, encoded in the quadrupole of the traction field. https://t.co/68ycelFQ14

Cells move in groups often led by specialised leader cells. Work @NaturePhysics by @RicardAlert @mpi_pks & collaborators shows that leader cells cannot autonomously guide groups: followers must contribute to build a global force asymmetry for group motion. https://t.co/QeFEvEHH66

👉Excited to share a fun discovery! Self-propelled particles can flock even if they turn away from one another. We demonstrate it experimentally in active Janus colloids, and we understand it with kinetic theory. And we find active Wigner crystals too! 😃 https://t.co/cWT49PEAXG

Active agents such as birds can flock by aligning with one another. New work @PhysRevX by Suchiasmita Das, Matteo Ciarchi, @RicardAlert @mpi_pks and collaborators now shows that active particles can flock even if they turn away from one another! https://t.co/gFoRoIz3Ab

It's believed flocking emerges through alignment interactions among self-propelled agents. New experiments and theory reveal that flocking can also emerge through interactions that turn agents away from each other Read https://t.co/g7YrqZpiT8
