Walking droplets, swimming microbes: on memory in physics and life
Whirling and swerving, a bacterium is swimming in a test tube, foraging for food. On the surface of a vibrating bath, a droplet starts walking. A certain similarity, but mostly dissimilarity, between the physical memory that emerges in Couder’s droplet experiments and the biological memory of the ba...
