Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are chemo-mechanical oscillators capable of generating long-range coordinated motions known as metachronal waves. Pair synchronization is a fundamental requirement for these collective dynamics, but it is…
Ellipsoidal micron-sized colloidal particles can oscillate spontaneously when trapped in a focused laser beam. If two oscillating particles are held in proximity their oscillations synchronize through hydrodynamic interactions. The degree…

In principle, while coupled limit cycle oscillators can overcome mismatch in intrinsic rates and match their frequencies, but zero phase lag synchronization is just achievable in the limit of zero mismatch, i.e., with identical oscillators.…
