Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Biofilms are structured communities formed by a single or multiple microbial species. Within
biofilms, bacteria are embedded into extracellular matrix, allowing them to build …

Astronauts are spending longer periods locked up in ships or stations for scientific and
exploration spatial missions. The International Space Station (ISS) has been inhabited …

We briefly review recent advances in the hydrodynamic modeling of the dynamics of
droplets on adaptive substrates, in particular, solids that are covered by polymer brushes …

Diverse interactions among species within bacterial colonies lead to intricate spatiotemporal
dynamics, which can affect their growth and survival. Here, we describe the emergence of …

Bacterial swarming and biofilm formation are collective multicellular phenomena through
which diverse microbial species colonize and spread over water-permeable tissue. During …

We highlight some recent developments that widen the scope and reach of mesoscopic thin-
film (or long-wave) hydrodynamic models employed to describe the dynamics of thin films …

Biofilms are complex living materials that form as bacteria become embedded in a matrix of
self-produced protein and polysaccharide fibers. In addition to their traditional association …

Many microbes coexist within biofilms, or multispecies communities of cells encased in an
extracellular matrix. However, little is known about the microbe-microbe interactions relevant …

The wetting of soft elastic substrates exhibits many features that have no counterpart on rigid
surfaces. Modelling the detailed elastocapillary interactions is challenging, and has so far …
