In an equilibrium thermal environment, random elastic collisions between background
particles and a tracer establish the picture of Brownian motion fulfilling the celebrated …

Self-propelled particles, which convert energy into mechanical motion, exhibit inertia if they
have a macroscopic size or move inside a gaseous medium, in contrast to micron-sized …

We investigate the effect of rotational inertia on the collective phenomena of underdamped
active systems and show that the increase of the moment of inertia of each particle favors …

Inertial effects affecting both the translational and rotational dynamics are inherent to a
broad range of active systems at the macroscopic scale. Thus, there is a pivotal need for …

We propose a new overarching model for self-propelled particles that flexibly generates a
full family of “descendants.” The general dynamics introduced in this paper, which we …

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 …

Active field theories, such as the paradigmatic model known as 'active model B+', are simple
yet very powerful tools for describing phenomena such as motility-induced phase …

Active scalar baths consisting of active Brownian particles are characterized by a non-
Gaussian velocity distribution, a kinetic temperature, and a diffusion coefficient that scale …

Active filamentlike systems propelling along their backbone exist across scales ranging from
motor-driven biofilaments to worms and robotic chains. In macroscopic active filaments such …

Recently, it has been discovered that systems of active Brownian particles (APB) at high
density organise their velocities into coherent domains showing large spatial structures in …
