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

Particles adsorbed to fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in industry, nature or life. The wide
range of properties arising from the assembly of particles at fluid interface has stimulated an …

Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by
converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain …

The process of crystallization is difficult to observe for transported, out-of-equilibrium
systems, as the continuous energy injection increases activity and competes with ordering …

Synthetic active colloids that harvest energy stored in the environment and swim
autonomously are a popular model system for active matter. This emerging field of research …

Artificial micro/nanomotors are expected to perform tasks in interface-rich and species-rich
environments for biomedical and environmental applications. In these highly confined and …

We develop a mesoscopic field theory for the collective nonequilibrium dynamics of
multicomponent mixtures of interacting active (ie, motile) and passive (ie, nonmotile) …

Molecular motors are essential to the living, generating fluctuations that boost transport and
assist assembly. Active colloids, that consume energy to move, hold similar potential for man …

Large-scale collective behavior in suspensions of active particles can be understood from
the balance of statistical forces emerging beyond the direct microscopic particle interactions …

Chemically active Janus particles sustain non-equilibrium spatial variations in the chemical
composition of the suspending solution; these induce hydrodynamic flow and (self-) motility …
