The Role of Motility in Bacterial Partitioning and Active Matter Dynamics in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems

The findings of this research have been published in the online version of Physical Review Letters on September 16, 2025.

The Role of Motility in Bacterial Partitioning and Active Matter Dynamics in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems

Abstract We study the partitioning of motile bacteria in an aqueous two-phase mixture of dextran (DEX) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which can phase separate into DEX-rich and PEG-rich phases. While nonmotile bacteria partition exclusively... Read More

Twice Around to Return Home: A Hidden Reset Button for Spins and Qubits

The work by Distinguished Professor Tsvi Tlusty at UNIST has been published in the October 2025 issue of Phys. Rev. Lett.

Twice Around to Return Home: A Hidden Reset Button for Spins and Qubits

Abstract The dynamics of numerous physical systems, such as spins and qubits, can be described as a series of rotation operations, i.e., walks in the manifold of the rotation group. A basic question with practical applications is how likely... Read More
