A #PhD position in #ActiveMatter #physics is available Sapienza Università di Roma. The position is fully funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ActiveMatter ITN. We are looking for an #EarlyStageResearcher to work on #bacteria driven #microrobots. euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/537680 Closing: 30 July 2020

Our new Nature Communications article shows that strong enough confinement can make #bacteria swim faster by stabilizing trajectories that run along the axis of narrow channels. nature.com/articles/s4146… youtu.be/gfRDCg5Otfo #microswimmers

Living a happy life is essential for all scientists. Lately it hasn't been easy. Here I wish everyone health, love, and discoveries. If fulfilled, my wishes could pave the way for groundbreaking applications in all areas of life.

The three most common mistakes people make when taking Covid self-tests

Researchers propose to rectify and confine bacteria using an optical feedback loop that couples bacteria to past configurations #GettingApplied nature.com/articles/s4146…

We herd #bacteria into regions of high density and motility using computer-controlled 'sheepdogs' of light. Out in Nature Communications with Helena Massana-Cid, C.Maggi and Giacomo Frangipane. #microswimmers #activematter nature.com/articles/s4146… youtu.be/qlWx9E0qRIU

When capillary forces restrict the body motions of E. coli #bacteria trapped in a water-air interface, the angle of inclination and flexibility of the flagellar bundle select one of four main swimming modes. Published in Physical Review Research #microswimmers journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…

Microscopic #biohybrid #robots can be remotely controlled by unbalancing light projected on two bacterial motors. These #microbots can be independently programmed to navigate a route and maybe one day deliver cells in microfluidic chips. doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2…

If a colloidal sphere is placed at the interface between fast and slow #bacteria, individual cells will push more on the fast side, but there will be more in the slow region. So in which direction will it move? The answer in our new Nature Communications article: nature.com/articles/s4146…
