Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

In this review, we discuss recent advances in the self-assembly of self-propelled colloidal
particles and highlight some of the most exciting results in this field, with a specific focus on …

We study a system of purely repulsive spherical self-propelled particles in the minimal setup
inducing motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). We show that, even if explicit alignment …

Studies of active matter, from molecular assemblies to animal groups, have revealed two
broad classes of behaviour: a tendency to align yields orientational order and collective …

Abstract Active Brownian particles (ABPs) and Run-and-Tumble particles (RTPs) both self-
propel at fixed speed v along a body-axis u that reorients either through slow angular …

It is known that purely repulsive self-propelled colloids can undergo bulk liquid-vapor phase
separation. In experiments and large-scale simulations, however, more complex steady …

The human eye is bored by monotonous landscapes. We are depressed by gray skies,
unending plains under the wing of an airliner, featureless urban sprawl, geometric …

We report on the dynamics of collective alignment in groups of the cichlid fish Etroplus
suratensis. Focusing on small-to intermediate-sized groups (10≲ N≲ 100), we demonstrate …

Recently, non-reciprocal systems have become a focus of growing interest. Examples occur
in soft and active matter, but also in engineered quantum materials and neural (brain) …

We present a Brownian dynamics study of a 2D bath of active particles interacting among
each other through usual steric interactions and, additionally, via non-reciprocal avoidant …
