Aging and rejuvenation of active matter under topological constraints [PDF]

, 2017
The coupling of active, self-motile particles to topological constraints can give rise to novel non-equilibrium dynamical patterns that lack any passive counterpart.

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 ...

Chiral active matter in external potentials [PDF]

, 2023
We investigate the interplay between chirality and confinement induced by the presence of an external potential. For potentials having radial symmetry, the circular character of the trajectories induced by the chiral motion reduces the spatial ...

Optimal escapes in active matter. [PDF]

Eur Phys J E Soft Matter
Abstract The out-of-equilibrium character of active particles, responsible for accumulation at boundaries in confining domains, determines not-trivial effects when considering escape processes. Non-monotonous behavior of exit times with respect to tumbling rate (inverse of mean persistent time) appears, as a consequence

Configurational entropy and effective temperature in systems of active Brownian particles [PDF]

, 2016
We propose a method to determine the effective density of states and configurational entropy in systems of active Brownian particles by measuring the probability distribution function of potential energy at varying temperatures. Assuming that the entropy

Active matter, then and now [PDF]

History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, 2016
Historically, living was divided from dead, inert matter by its autonomous activity. Today, a number of materials not themselves alive are characterized as having inherent activity, and this activity has become the subject of a hot new field of physics, "Active Matter", or "Soft matter become alive." For active matter scientists, the relation of ...

The 2020 motile active matter roadmap

, 2020
Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This has stimulated the new field of 'active matter' in recent years, which focuses on the physical aspects of propulsion mechanisms, and on motility-induced emergent ...

Active Matter [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2017
The first book on active matter, an emerging field focused on programming physical materials to assemble themselves, transform autonomously, and react to information. The past few decades brought a revolution in computer software and hardware; today we are on the cusp of a materials revolution.

Irreversibility, heat and information flows induced by non-reciprocal interactions

New Journal of Physics, 2020
We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between stochastic degrees of freedom in time- and space-continuous systems. We show that, under fairly general conditions, non-reciprocal coupling alone implies a steady energy
