To cross or not to cross: Collective swimming of Escherichia coli under two-dimensional confinement

Bacteria suspended in fluids swim collectively and display fascinating emergent dynamics. Although bacterial collective swimming in bulk suspensions has been well studied, its counterpart in confined two-dimensional (2D) geometries relevant to many natural habitats of bacteria is still poorly unders...
