Title: Swimming in shear flow: Rheo-/chemotactic behavior of active particles in confinement

Abstract:
Life, as we know it, represents a complex, robust and, at the same time, an extremely fine-tuned organization of molecules and molecular processes that make use of stored and/or ambient free energy (and, as such, they are often referred to as ‘active’ processes), driving themselves into a hierarchy of nonequilibrium spatiotemporal forms known as the living matter...
