American Journal of Physics, 2023 In the past 20 years, active matter has been a very successful research field, bridging the fundamental physics of nonequilibrium thermodynamics with applications in robotics, biology, and medicine. Active particles, contrary to Brownian particles, can harness energy to generate complex motions and emerging behaviors. Most active-matter experiments are

Active Matter, Microreversibility, and Thermodynamics. [PDF]
Research (Wash D C), 2020 Active matter, comprising many active agents interacting and moving in fluids or more complex environments, is a commonly occurring state of matter in biological and physical systems. By its very nature, active matter systems exist in nonequilibrium states.

Alignments of a Microparticle Pair in a Glow Discharge
Molecules, 2021 Stability of a vertically aligned microparticle pair in a stratified glow DC discharge is experimentally investigated. Using laser perturbations, it is shown that, for the same discharge parameters, a pair of microparticles can be suspended in two stable

Theoretical framework for two-microswimmer hydrodynamic interactions
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Hydrodynamic interactions are crucial for determining the cooperative behavior of microswimmers at low Reynolds numbers. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of the scaling laws and the strength of the interactions in the case of a pair of three ...

Spheroid mechanics and implications for cell invasion
Advances in Physics: X, 2021 Spheroids are widely used in vitro 3D multicellular model systems that mimic complex physiological microenvironments of tissues. As different cell types vary in deformability and adhesion, the choice of (heterogeneous) cell composition will define ...

The Mechanics and Statistics of Active Matter [PDF]
, 2010 Active particles contain internal degrees of freedom with the ability to take in and dissipate energy and, in the process, execute systematic movement. Examples include all living organisms and their motile constituents such as molecular motors.
