Activity-controlled clogging and unclogging of microchannels
We propose a mechanism to control the formation of stable obstructions in two-dimensional microchannels of variable sections taking advantage of the peculiar clustering property of active systems. Under the activation of the self-propulsion by external stimuli, the system behaves as a switch accordi...
