Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) has become one of the central
modeling approaches in nonequilibrium soft matter physics. Recent years have seen the …

Biological cells have the ability to switch internal states depending on the density of other
cells in their local environment, referred to as “quorum sensing.” The latter can be utilized to …

We explore theoretically the effects of external potentials on the spatial distribution of particle
properties in a liquid of explicitly responsive macromolecules. In particular, we focus on the …

Macromolecular crowding typically applies to biomolecular and polymer-based systems in
which the individual particles often feature a two-state folded/unfolded or coil-to-globule …

Stimuli-responsive macromolecules display large conformational changes during their
dynamics, sometimes switching between states. Such a multi-stability is useful for the …

We introduce a model of active responsive colloids (ARCs) in which an internal degree of
freedom (DoF) of a single colloidal particle is “activated” by coupling it to a different …

We study the influence of intrinsic noise on the structure and dynamics of responsive
colloids (RCs), which actively change their size and mutual interactions. The colloidal size is …
