Hierarchical chirality transfer in the growth of Towel Gourd tendrils
Chirality plays a significant role in the physical properties and biological functions of many biological materials, e.g., climbing tendrils and twisted leaves, which exhibit chiral growth. However, the mechanisms underlying the chiral growth of biological materials remain unclear. In this paper, we investigate how the Towel Gourd tendrils achieve their chiral growth. Our experiments reveal tha...
متن کاملGrowing Bacillus subtilis tendrils sense and avoid each other.
Growing tendrils of aflagellate hag mutants of Bacillus subtilis were found to show an avoidance response when colonizing a semi-solid medium, suggesting a tip-to-tip communication mechanism between colonies. There may be a second sensing mechanism involved in shaping the morphology of tendrils. Tendril growth in B. subtilis was dependent on and possibly shaped by the release of surfactin, a bi...
متن کاملSearching for WISPy Cold Dark Matter with a Dish Antenna
The cold dark matter of the Universe may be comprised of very light and very weakly interacting particles, so-called WISPs. Two prominent examples are hidden photons and axion-like particles. In this note we propose a new technique to sensitively search for this type of dark matter with dish antennas. The technique is broadband and allows to explore a whole range of masses in a single measureme...
متن کاملStarbursts and wispy drops: surfactants spreading on gels.
The spreading dynamics of surfactant-laden droplets have been studied for both solid and thin liquid substrates. In general, the presence of a surfactant modifies the contact line dynamics due to the Marangoni effect, which creates a surface tension gradient and thus generates pattern-forming instabilities. To determine the effects of varying substrate mobility from a liquid to a solid, we exam...
متن کاملGrasping the Torch
H aving firmly grasped the torch that Mahadev Satyanarayanan handed to me, I feel like the second runner in a relay, sprinting to make as much progress as I can during my allotted time. Satya founded IEEE Pervasive Computing, which, in the last four years, has published a rich legacy of peer-reviewed work and earned a venerable reputation. I will do my best to maintain this reputation and, wher...
