"Exploring order in active turbulence: Geometric rule and pairing order transition in confined bacterial vortices"
【Significance】
“Active matter” refers to a class of materials that move autonomously by consuming chemical energy and form an ordered flocking cluster or exhibit a complex turbulent state at a high density. The physics of active matter provides a new foundation for understanding the self-organization of complex biological systems at different scales, including proteins, bacteria, and multicellular tissues. This review outlines the emergent order of vortices hidden in an active turbulent state and provides a simple geometric rule in which the geometry of vortex pairings plays an important role in controlling the collective motion of active matter.
