Magnetic nanoflowers (MNFs), characterized by high intrinsic magnetic losses and elevated specific absorption rates under clinically relevant alternating magnetic fields, represent promising candidates for magnetic hyperthermia applications [1]. In this work, we present a versatile and scalable platform for the fabrication of dynamic, field-responsive microstructures based on MNFs via a...
Flow networks are fundamental for understanding systems such as animal and plant vasculature or power distribution grids. These networks can encode, transmit, and transform information embodied in the spatial and temporal distribution of their flows. We have explored flow networks that incorporate valves or elements exhibiting nonlinear relationships between flow rate and pressure drop. These...
Transport in active media has been extensively studied in bacterial suspensions, where tracers exhibit short-time superdiffusion followed by long-time diffusion, typically without a clearly resolved ballistic regime or an intrinsic length scale for optimal transport. In microtubule-based active nematics, research has mainly focused on controlling flows through confinement and boundary...
