Magnetic microswimmers exhibit Bose-Einstein-like condensation
Fanlong Meng, Daiki Matsunaga, Benoît Mahault +1
We study an active matter system comprised of magnetic microswimmers confined in a microfluidic channel and show that it exhibits a new type of self-organized behavior. Combining a…

Bose-Einstein-like Condensation due to Diffusivity Edge under Periodic Confinement
Benoît Mahault, Ramin Golestanian
A generic class of scalar active matter, characterized at the mean field level by the diffusivity vanishing above some threshold density, was recently introduced [Golestanian R 201…

Quantitative Assessment of the Toner and Tu Theory of Polar Flocks
Benoît Mahault, Francesco Ginelli, Hugues Chaté
We present a quantitative assessment of the Toner and Tu theory describing the universal scaling of fluctuations in polar phases of dry active matter. Using large scale simulations…
