Multi-dimensional wavefront sensing using volumetric meta-optics

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faroan | Summary:The ideal imaging system would efficiently capture information about all fundamental properties light: intensity, direction, wavelength, and polarization. Most common imaging systems only map the spatial degrees of freedom of light onto a two dimensional image sensor, with some wavelength and/or polarization discrimination added at the expense of efficiency. Thus, […]

Connecting cooperative transport by ants with the physics of self-propelled particles

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Tabea Heckenthaler, Tobias Holder, Ariel Amir, Ofer Feinerman, Ehud Fonio | Summary: Paratrechina longicornis ants are known for their ability to cooperatively transport large food items. Previous studies have focused on the behavioral rules of individual ants and explained the efficient coordination using the coupled-carrier model. In […]

Connecting cooperative transport by ants with the physics of active swimmers

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Tabea Heckenthaler, Tobias Holder, Ariel Amir, Ofer Feinerman, Ehud Fonio | Summary: Some ant species are known as efficient transporters that can cooperatively carry food items which would be too large for a single ant. Previous studies of cooperative transport focused on the role of individual ants […]
