Microbes thrive in diverse porous environments—from soil and riverbeds to human lungs
and cancer tissues—spanning multiple scales and conditions. Short-to long-term …

Efficient navigation through disordered, porous environments poses a major challenge for
swimming microorganisms and future synthetic cargo-carriers. We perform Brownian …

Optimal mean first-passage time of a run-and-tumble particle in a class of one-dimensional
confining potentials - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science home Accessibility Help Search …

Motility is a fundamental survival strategy of bacteria to navigate porous environments,
where they mediate essential biogeochemical processes in quiescent wetlands and …

The dynamics and structure of nonequilibrium liquids, driven by nonconservative forces
which can be either external or internal, generically hold the signature of the net dissipation …

Understanding actual transport mechanisms of self-propelled particles (SPPs) in complex
elastic gels—such as in the cell cytoplasm, in in vitro networks of chromatin or of F-actin …

We investigate the competing effects of the simultaneous presence of chirality and
generalized tumbles in the dynamics of an active Brownian particle. Chiral active particles …

Active fluids operate by constantly dissipating energy at the particle level to perform a
directed motion, yielding dynamics and phases without any equilibrium equivalent. The …

We calculate the diffusion coefficient of an active tracer in a schematic crowded
environment, represented as a lattice gas of passive particles with hardcore interactions …

Experiments have shown that self-propelled particles can slide along the surface of a
circular obstacle without becoming trapped over long times. Using simulations and theory …
