Our paper "Length regulation of microtubule antiparallel overlaps by molecular motors" was posted on the bioRxiv server.
We develop a theory of steady-state overlap length which depends on the filament plus-end motor concentration, determined by a balance between motor arrival and
motor departure in the absence of motor-driven sliding.

Groups of interacting active particles, insects, or humans can form clusters that hinder the goals of the collective. We find that digging performance can be robustly optimized within the constraints of narrow tunnels by individual idleness and retreating.
