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 …

Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled
Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy …

Worm-like filaments that are propelled homogeneously along their tangent vector are
studied by Brownian dynamics simulations. Systems in two dimensions are investigated …

We study the dynamics and conformation of polymers composed by active monomers. By
means of Brownian dynamics simulations we show that, when the direction of the self …

Active matter systems, which convert internal chemical energy or energy from the
environment into directed motion, are ubiquitous in nature and exhibit a range of emerging …

We investigate, using numerical simulations, the conformations of isolated active ring
polymers. We find that their behavior depends crucially on their size: Short rings (N≲ 100) …

We provide an analytical solution for the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation for a two-
dimensional active Brownian particle trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential. Using the …

We study, from first principles, the pressure exerted by an active fluid of spherical particles
on general boundaries in two dimensions. We show that, despite the nonuniform pressure …

The conformational properties of flexible and semiflexible polymers exposed to active noise
are studied theoretically. The noise may originate from the interaction of the polymer with …

Active matter exhibits a wealth of emerging nonequilibrium behaviours. A paradigmatic
example is the interior of cells, where active components, such as the cytoskeleton, are …
