Fun fact: disk-like swimmers self-propelling in a fluid flow automatically follow time-optimal paths without steering! This and much more on how shape influences navigation in our work w\ @RGolestanian @andrejvilfan and B. Mahault out in @PhysRevResearch doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

@LastraFrancisca @LivMatPhys Thank you Francisca! 😁

@LivMatPhys @LorenzoPiro4 Congrats Lorenzo! 👏🥂

Congrats to Lorenzo Piro @LorenzoPiro4, our first PhD graduate! After a defense with flying colours, the award ceremony followed last Friday. As per Göttingen tradition, he then climbed the Gänseliesel (goose girl) fountain, brought her flowers & gave her a kiss. Well done!

... an emergent trade-off between exploration efficiency and stability, which, depending on the context and the desired task, must be taken into consideration for the design of the corresponding navigation policy. (2/2)

Escape or explore? That is the question. Take a look at our new paper doi.org/10.3389/fphy.2… with @RGolestanian and Benoît Mahault just published in a special issue of @FrontPhysics! Our results highlight an emergent trade-off between... (1/2) @LivMatPhys @mpids

@tarun_masc @RGolestanian @NJPhysics @LivMatPhys @IOPPublishing Thank you, Tarun! 🙂

@LorenzoPiro4 @RGolestanian @NJPhysics @LivMatPhys @IOPPublishing Congrats Lorenzo. Nice to see this is out!

How can microswimmers reach a target in the shortest time without losing their autonomy? Check out our latest work doi.org/10.1088/1367-2… with Benoît Mahault and @RGolestanian recently published in @NJPhysics to learn more! @LivMatPhys @IOPPublishing

Wonderful week for "Active Matter and Complex Media at @IES_Cargese #AMiC2022 @Univ_CotedAzur @UnivCorse @INP_CNRS @CNRS_dr12 @liphy_lab iesc.universita.corsica

We are happy to announce the next public lecture hosted by the Living Matter Physics department of @RGolestanian : @LorenzoPiro4 will talk about "Optimal navigation strategies in complex and noisy environments". More information & zoom login data: ds.mpg.de/events/31217/2…

Well done, Lorenzo @LorenzoPiro4, for this work. It was also fun for me to go back to using Finsler geometry, which came out of the 1918 PhD thesis of Paul Finsler at @uniGoettingen under Constantin Caratheodory.

Our work w/ E.Tang and @RGolestanian on optimal navigation strategies for microswimmers on curved surfaces is now available online in @PhysRevResearch! We show that this problem can be elegantly solved via geodesics of an asymmetric metric of GR. journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…

Inspired by the behaviour of moths, researchers @ictpnews have developed a novel collective search algorithm for locating the source of an odour. ow.ly/rrcT50B7ovH
