Active Refrigerators Powered by Inertia
Lukas Hecht, Suvendu Mandal, Hartmut Löwen +1
We present the operational principle for a refrigerator which uses inertial effects in active Brownian particles to locally reduce their (kinetic) temperature by two orders of magn…
MD Simulations of Charged Binary Mixtures Reveal a Generic Relation Between High- and Low-Temperature Behavior
L. Hecht, R. Horstmann, B. Liebchen +1
Experimental studies of the glassy slowdown in molecular liquids indicate that the high-temperature activation energy of glass-forming liquids is directly related to t…
Swarm Hunting and Clusters Turning Inside Out in Chemically Communicating Active Mixtures
Jens Grauer, Hartmut Löwen, Avraham Be'er +1
A large variety of microorganisms produce molecules to communicate via complex signaling mechanisms such as quorum sensing and chemotaxis. The biological diversity is enormous, but…
Clustering-induced velocity-reversals of active colloids mixed with passive particles
Frederik Hauke, Hartmut Löwen, Benno Liebchen
Recent experiments have shown that colloidal suspensions can spontaneously self-assemble into dense clusters of various internal structures, sizes and dynamical properties when dop…
Propagating Density Spikes in Light-Powered Motility-Ratchets
Celia Lozano, Benno Liebchen, Borge ten Hagen +2
Combining experiments and computer simulations, we use a spatially periodic and flashing light-field to direct the motion of phototactic active colloids. Here, the colloids self-or…
Theory of active particle penetration through a planar elastic membrane
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Benno Liebchen, Andreas M. Menzel +1
With the rapid advent of biomedical and biotechnological innovations, a deep understanding of the nature of interaction between nanomaterials and cell membranes, tissues, and organ…
