Worm clusters, jellyfish tentacles, robotic arms -- what do they have in common? Our new study in Nature Communications reveals how active movement leads to entanglement and stiffening -- offering new insights into polymer physics. nature.com/articles/s41... #PolymerPhysics #ActiveMatter #SoftMatter

nature.comGiant activity-induced elasticity in entangled polymer solutions - Nature CommunicationsEntanglement of polymers underlies a variety of phenomena across multiple scales that are driven by different active processes. Here, the authors study the viscoelastic properties of highly entangled,...

This work was inspired by our earlier findings published in Physical Review Letters, where we showed that crowding can enhance long-time diffusion in active systems: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...
