Inspired by natural mobile microorganisms, researchers have developed micro/nanomotors
(MNMs) that can autonomously move by transducing different kinds of energies into kinetic …

In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

The study of systems with sustained energy uptake and dissipation at the scale of the
constituent particles is an area of central interest in nonequilibrium statistical physics …

Group formation in living systems typically results from a delicate balance of repulsive,
aligning, and attractive interactions. We found that a mere motility change of the individuals …

Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

The collective phenomena exhibited by artificial active matter systems present novel routes
to fabricating out‐of‐equilibrium microscale assemblies. Here, the crystallization of passive …

We consider a Brownian particle which, in addition to being in contact with a thermal bath, is
driven by fluctuating forces which stem from active processes in the system, such as self …

These lecture notes are designed to provide a brief introduction into the phenomenology of
active matter and to present some of the analytical tools used to rationalize the emergent …

Active matter agents consume internal energy or extract energy from the environment for
locomotion and force generation. Already, rather generic models, such as ensembles of …
