Chiral active matter
Chiral active matter comprises particles which can self-propel and self-rotate. Examples
range from sperm cells and bacteria near walls to autophoretic L-shaped colloids. In this …

Activity induced synchronization: Mutual flocking and chiral self-sorting
Synchronization, the temporal coordination of coupled oscillators, allows fireflies to flash in
unison, neurons to fire collectively, and human crowds to fall in step on the London …

All-fiber rotary micromotor based on laser-induced thermal convection
Micromotors based on fiber optical tweezers (OTs) hold exciting prospects for studying rotary
motor proteins, observing the microscopic properties of fluids, and diagnosing diseases. In …

A computer simulation study of a chiral active ring polymer
SK Anand - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
We investigate a ring polymer under the influence of chiral active Brownian forces in two
dimensions using coarse-grained computer simulations. We observe a non-monotonic …

Spontaneous emergence of run-and-tumble-like dynamics in coupled self-propelled robots: experiment and theory
Drawing inspiration from the motility behaviour of microorganisms, we introduce a highly
tunable, robotic system self-actuating into the run-and-tumble (RT)-like motion. It comprises …

Mobility-induced order in active spins on a substrate
We elucidate that the nearly phase-ordered active XY spins in contact with a conserved,
diffusing species on a substrate can be stable. For wide-ranging model parameters, it has …
