Bacteria can propel themselves like a corkscrew by wrapping their flagella around their body. How do they do it? A new study in Physical Review E suggests they take advantage of motor-induced buckling instability to perform this method of locomotion. 🔗 go.aps.org/4eZvYtm

ALT Animated GIF of a device meant to mimic the flagellum of a bacterium. There is a thin black line hanging from a ball-shaped structure that rotates. As the animation plays, the thin line forms a helix that twirls and whirls in the tank.

How do particles at fluid interfaces affect mass transfer? Our new Fick–Jacobs diffusion model shows hindrance happens only at short times. Excited this is now in Phys Rev Fluids! Congrats Timo van Overveld & @ValeriaGarbin 🔗 journals.aps.org/prfluids/ab…

Scaling regimes for unsteady diffusion across particle-stabilized fluid interfaces

Colloidal particles at fluid interfaces stabilize drops and bubbles, yet their effect on mass transfer remains ambiguous, with experiments showing either strong hindrance or minimal effect, even at...

Colloidal particles at fluid interfaces may strongly hinder or barely affect mass transfer. Using the Fick-Jacobs equation, a new Letter shows that hindrance occurs mainly at short times from reduced cross-section, giving a simple predictive criterion. go.aps.org/4hTKEJR
