Surface curvature both emerges from, and influences the behavior of, living objects at length
scales ranging from cell membranes to single cells to tissues and organs. The relevance of …

Motility coupled to responsive behavior is essential for many microorganisms to seek and
establish appropriate habitats. One of the simplest possible responses, reversing the …

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 …

Mammalian sperm migration within the complex and dynamic environment of the female
reproductive tract toward the fertilization site requires navigational mechanisms, through …

Understanding the transport properties of microorganisms and self-propelled particles in
porous media has important implications for human health as well as microbial ecology. In …

Motility is an essential factor for an organism's survival and diversification. With the advent of
novel single-cell technologies, analytical frameworks, and theoretical methods, we can …

Swimming microorganisms often experience complex environments in their natural habitat.
The same is true for microswimmers in envisioned biomedical applications. The simple …

The phenomenon that a system at a hot temperature cools faster than at a warm
temperature, referred to as the Mpemba effect, has recently been realized for trapped …

We experimentally study the dynamics of active particles (APs) in a viscoelastic fluid under
various geometrical constraints such as flat walls, spherical obstacles and cylindrical …

The dynamics of self-propelled particles with curved trajectories is investigated. Two modes
are observed, a bulk mode with a quasicircular motion and a surface mode with the particles …
