New paper by Lavrentovich group published in Nature Physics: Abstract Active matter exhibits remarkable collective behaviour in which flows, continuously generated by active particles, are intertwined with the orientational order of these particles. The relationship remains poorly understood as the activity and order are difficult to control independently. Here we demonstrate important facets of this interplay by exploring the dynamics of swimming bacteria in a liquid crystalline environment with predesigned periodic splay and bend in molecular orientation. The bacteria are expelled from...
Ohio, like many states, suffers from a teacher shortage, especially in early childhood education and special education. The Buckeye State also is in need of more school psychologists, analysts say. It’s fortunate, then, that the United States Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs just awarded a million-dollar grant to two Kent State University researchers to train teachers and school psychologists in those fields. Ching-I Chen, Ph.D., and Kizzy Albritton, Ph.D., assistant professors in the School of Lifespan Development and Educational Sciences in Kent Stat...
There are two cycles most people can’t avoid — sleep and the news. And If you’re awake, you can’t help hearing the news reporting about cannabinoids. A Kent State researcher may soon have news about how these substances affect our body’s natural clock. Eric Mintz, Ph.D., professor of Biological Sciences and associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, studies the human body’s circadian rhythms, which affect the sleeping-waking cycle. Not as well-known is how the brain’s other systems work in concert with that clock or what happens to it when we interfere with them. The Nation...
