Charles' paper on flocking phases in experimental systems published!

In a collaboration between scientists at Cornell, Syracuse, and North Carolina A&T, we studied a model flocking system that displays both polar ordered and large-scale vortex states. First author Charles Packard performed extensive deep-learning-driven video analysis along with large-scale numerical simulations to study these flocking phases and compare them with detailed anisotropic structures predicted by Toner-Tu theory.
