Active particles crossing sharp viscosity gradients

Abstract Active particles (living or synthetic) often move through inhomogeneous environments, such as gradients in light, heat or nutrient concentration, that can lead to directed motion (or taxis). Recent research has explored inhomogeneity in the rheological properties of a suspending fluid, in p...
