Nanocrystal assemblies: Current advances and open problems

CL Bassani, G Van Anders, U Banin, D Baranov… - ACS …, 2024 - ACS Publications
We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles) as
building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges for …

Active colloids as models, materials, and machines

KJM Bishop, SL Biswal, B Bharti - Annual Review of Chemical …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Active colloids use energy input at the particle level to propel persistent motion and direct
dynamic assemblies. We consider three types of colloids animated by chemical reactions …

Non-reciprocal phase transitions

M Fruchart, R Hanai, PB Littlewood, V Vitelli - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Computational models for active matter

MR Shaebani, A Wysocki, RG Winkler… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
Active matter, which ranges from molecular motors to groups of animals, exists at different
length scales and timescales, and various computational models have been proposed to …

Intermittent collective motion in sheep results from alternating the role of leader and follower

L Gómez-Nava, R Bon, F Peruani - Nature Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Flocking behaviour is often presented as an example of a self-organized process, where
individuals continuously negotiate on the direction of travel and compromise by moving …

Scalar active mixtures: The nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model

S Saha, J Agudo-Canalejo, R Golestanian - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
Pair interactions between active particles need not follow Newton's third law. In this work, we
propose a continuum model of pattern formation due to nonreciprocal interaction between …

Nonreciprocity as a generic route to traveling states

Z You, A Baskaran, MC Marchetti - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 - pnas.org
We examine a nonreciprocally coupled dynamical model of a mixture of two diffusing
species. We demonstrate that nonreciprocity, which is encoded in the model via antagonistic …

Non-reciprocity across scales in active mixtures

A Dinelli, J O'Byrne, A Curatolo, Y Zhao… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
In active matter, particles typically experience mediated interactions, which are not
constrained by Newton's third law and are therefore generically non-reciprocal. Non …

Dynamical pattern formation without self-attraction in quorum-sensing active matter: The interplay between nonreciprocity and motility

Y Duan, J Agudo-Canalejo, R Golestanian… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We study a minimal model involving two species of particles interacting via quorum-sensing
rules. Combining simulations of the microscopic model and linear stability analysis of the …

Irreversibility, heat and information flows induced by non-reciprocal interactions

SAM Loos, SHL Klapp - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between
stochastic degrees of freedom in time-and space-continuous systems. We show that, under …
