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…
Motility-induced temperature difference in coexisting phases
Suvendu Mandal, Benno Liebchen, Hartmut Löwen
In nature, objects which are in thermal contact with each other, usually approach the same temperature, unless a heat source (or sink) cherishes a persistent flow of heat. Accordin…
Optimal Control Strategies for Active Particle Navigation
Benno Liebchen, Hartmut Löwen
The quest for the optimal navigation strategy in a complex environment is at the heart of microswimmer applications like cargo carriage or drug targeting to cancer cells. Here, we…
