The study of active soft matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing areas of
physics. Field theories, which can be developed either via phenomenological …

Electrohydrodynamically driven active particles based on Quincke rotation have quickly
become an important model system for emergent collective behavior in nonequilibrium …

Self-propelling microparticles are often proposed as synthetic models for biological
microswimmers, yet they lack the internally regulated adaptation of their biological …

Many self-propelled objects are large enough to exhibit inertial effects but still suffer from
environmental fluctuations. The corresponding basic equations of motion are governed by …

We study the dynamical properties of an active particle subject to a swimming speed
explicitly depending on the particle position. The oscillating spatial profile of the swim …

The development of self-propelled particles at the micro-and the nanoscale has sparked a
huge potential for future applications in active matter physics, microsurgery, and targeted …

As compared to the well explored problem of how to steer a macroscopic agent, like an
airplane or a moon lander, to optimally reach a target, optimal navigation strategies for …

As the length scales of the smallest technology continue to advance beyond the micron
scale it becomes increasingly important to equip robotic components with the means for …

Previous studies on ultrasound-propelled nano-and microparticles have considered only
systems in which the particle orientation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of …

By now active Brownian motion is a well-established model to describe the motion of
mesoscopic self-propelled particles in a Newtonian fluid. On the basis of the generalized …
