🎉Exciting News 🎉-Â
Thrilled to share that our recent work on the dynamic self-organization of active rods has been published in Science and is also featured on the Cover.
Light-driven active polar rods self-organize into dynamic collective states. Varying rod aspect ratio and concentration drives transitions between swarming, active turbulence, flocking, and jamming.Â
These findings reveal how shape anisotropy and physical interactions govern collective motion in active matter, providing design rules for programmable synthetic materials and insight into bacterial swarms.Â
