Chiral active matter

B Liebchen, D Levis - Europhysics Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
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

D Levis, I Pagonabarraga, B Liebchen - Physical Review Research, 2019 - APS
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

Y Zhou, S Li, J Gao, Y Qin, Y Zhang, Y Zhang… - Optics & Laser …, 2023 - Elsevier
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

S Paramanick, U Pardhi, H Soni, N Kumar - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2025 - arxiv.org
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

A Haldar, A Sarkar, S Chatterjee, A Basu - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
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 …
