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 …

Self-propelled droplets are a class of active matter systems composed of one fluid dispersed
in another immiscible fluid. Despite the inherent spherical symmetry in the initial droplet …

The field of active matter, and particularly active emulsions, is growing rapidly, with
significant progress made recently on both theoretical and experimental fronts. Here, we …

Enzyme-enriched condensates can organize the spatial distribution of their substrates by
catalyzing nonequilibrium reactions. Conversely, an inhomogeneous substrate distribution …

Over the last decade, the Lattice Boltzmann method has found major scope for the
simulation of a large spectrum of problems in soft matter, from multiphase and multi …

Confinement increases contacts between microswimmers in dilute suspensions and affects
their interactions. In particular, boundaries have been shown experimentally to lead to the …

Conspectus The multifunctionality and resilience of living systems has inspired an explosion
of interest in creating materials with life-like properties. Just as life persists out-of …

Microscopic motility is a property that emerges from systems of interacting molecules.
Unraveling the mechanisms underlying such motion requires coupling the chemistry of …

Hypothesis In a number of applications related to chemical engineering and drug delivery,
magnetic nanoparticles should move through a liquid–liquid interface in the presence of …

Biomolecular condensates help organize the cell cytoplasm and nucleoplasm into spatial
compartments with different chemical compositions. A key feature of such compositional …
