- 2016, Benno Liebchen, Michael E. Cates, Davide Marenduzzo, “Pattern Formation in Chemically Interacting Active Rotors with Self-Propulsion”, in arXiv[1]:
- We demonstrate that active rotations in chemically signalling particles, such as autochemotactic {\it E. coli} close to walls, create a route for pattern formation based on a nonlinear yet deterministic instability mechanism.
