Many key environmental, industrial and energy processes rely on controlling fluid transport within subsurface porous media. These media are typically structurally heterogeneous, often with vertically layered strata of distinct permeabilities – leading to uneven partitioning flow across strata, which can be undesirable. Here, using direct in situ visualization, we demonstrate that polymer additives homogenize this by inducing a purely elastic instability generates random spatio-temporal...
Active systems of self-propelled agents, e.g., birds, fish, and bacteria, can organize their collective motion into myriad autonomous behaviors. Ubiquitous in nature across length scales, such phenomena are also amenable to artificial settings, where brainless robots orchestrate movements spatial-temporal patterns via the application external cues or when confined within flexible boundaries. Like natural counterparts, these approaches typically require many units initiate motion, so...
