Interaction of microswimmers in viscoelastic liquid crystals
Bacterial collective behavior in visco-elastic media is an open area of research. The authors computationally study a viscoelastic environment to look at the trajectories of microswimmers and their interaction, finding that a second swimmer is influenced by the first and that a swimmer changes speed...
