Colloidal hard spheres: Triumphs, challenges, and mysteries
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Learning to swim efficiently in a nonuniform flow field
Microswimmers can acquire information on the surrounding fluid by sensing mechanical
queues. They can then navigate in response to these signals. We analyze this navigation by …
