One ring to rule them all: tuning bacteria collective motion via geometric confinement
Suspensions of swimming bacteria are known to self-organize into turbulent-like flows for sufficiently high density and nutrients concentration. This spectacular example of collective behavior, on which the survival of the colony itself is believed to rely, appears however impossible to control. In...
