Transport Properties of Active Particles Moving on Adjustable Networks

William G. C. Oropesa, P. de Castro, Hartmut Löwen +1

Active adaptive matter has attracted considerable interest due to its rich, largely unexplained dynamics and its relevance to a wide range of synthetic and biological materials. An…

Entropic alignment of topologically modified ring polymers in cylindrical confinement

Sanjay Bhandarkar, Debarshi Mitra, Jürgen Horbach +1

Under high cylindrical confinement, segments of ring polymers can be localized along the long axis of the cylinder by introducing internal loops within the ring polymer. The emerge…

Self-organization, Memory and Learning: From Driven Disordered Systems to Living Matter

Muhittin Mungan, Eric Clement, Damien Vandembroucq +1

Disordered systems subject to a fluctuating environment can self-organize into a complex history-dependent response, retaining a memory of the driving. In sheared amorphous solids,…

Convective Flows in Sheared Packings of Spherical Particles

Mehran Erfanifam, Mahnoush Madani, Reza Shaebani +1

Understanding how granular materials respond to shear stress remains a central challenge in soft matter physics. We report direct observations of persistent granular convection in…

Temperature overshooting in the Mpemba effect of frictional active matter

Alexander P. Antonov, Hartmut Löwen

The traditional Mpemba effect refers to an anomalous cooling phenomenon when an initial hotter system cools down faster than an initial warm system. Such counterintuitive behavior…

Intermediate scattering function of colloids in a periodic laser field

Regina Rusch, Yasamin Mohebi Satalsari, Angel B. Zuccolotto-Bernez +2

We investigate the dynamics of individual colloidal particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential using the intermediate scattering function (ISF) as a key observable. We elabo…
