In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

The collective phenomena exhibited by artificial active matter systems present novel routes
to fabricating out‐of‐equilibrium microscale assemblies. Here, the crystallization of passive …

These lecture notes are designed to provide a brief introduction into the phenomenology of
active matter and to present some of the analytical tools used to rationalize the emergent …

Liquids composed of self-propelled particles have been experimentally realized using
molecular, colloidal or macroscopic constituents,,,,. These active liquids can flow …

Active-matter systems operate far from equilibrium because of the continuous energy
injection at the scale of constituent particles. At larger scales, described by coarse-grained …

Many microorganisms, with phytoplankton and zooplankton as prominent examples, display
phototactic behaviour, that is, the ability to perform directed motion within a light gradient …

INTRODUCTION Conventional nonequilibrium systems are composed of inanimate
components whose dynamics is powered by the external input of energy. For example, in a …

We study how confinement transforms the chaotic dynamics of bulk microtubule-based
active nematics into regular spatiotemporal patterns. For weak confinements in disks …
