Theoretical framework for two-microswimmer hydrodynamic interactions

open access: yesNew 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 ...

Vapour-liquid coexistence of an active Lennard-Jones fluid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study a three-dimensional system of self-propelled Lennard-Jones particles using Brownian dynamics simulations. Using recent theoretical results for active matter, we calculate the pressure and report equations of state for the system.

Spheroid mechanics and implications for cell invasion

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Influence of particle softness on active glassy dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Active matter studies are increasingly geared towards the high-density or glassy limit. This is mainly inspired by the remarkable resemblance between active glassy materials and conventional passive glassy matter.

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

open access: yesNew 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

Active matter, then and now [PDF]

open access: yesHistory 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 ...

Trapped in Out-of-Equilibrium Stationary State: Hot Brownian Motion in Optically Trapped Upconverting Nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
Upconverting nanoparticles typically absorb low frequency radiation and emit at higher frequencies relying upon multiphoton processes. One such type of particle is NaYF4:Yb,Er, which absorbs at 975 nm while emitting in visible radiation.

Fabricating large two-dimensional single colloidal crystals by doping with active particles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Using simulations we explore the behaviour of two-dimensional colloidal (poly)crystals doped with active particles. We show that these active dopants can provide an elegant new route to removing grain boundaries in polycrystals.
