Nonreciprocity as a Generic Mechanism for Demixing in Flocking Mixtures
Charlotte Myin, Benoît Mahault
We show that even weak nonreciprocal alignment leads to large-scale structure formation in flocking mixtures. By combining numerical simulations of a binary Vicsek model and the an…
Dissipation-accuracy tradeoffs in autonomous control of smart active matter
Luca Cocconi, Benoît Mahault, Lorenzo Piro
The study of motility control by smart agents offers a promising platform for systematically exploring the fundamental physical constraints underlying the functioning of bio-inspir…
Dynamical pattern formation without self-attraction in quorum-sensing active matter: the interplay between nonreciprocity and motility
Yu Duan, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo, Ramin Golestanian +1
We study a minimal model involving two species of particles interacting via quorum-sensing rules. Combining simulations of the microscopic model and linear stability analysis of th…
Dynamical theory of topological defects I: the multivalued solution of the diffusion equation
Jacopo Romano, Benoît Mahault, Ramin Golestanian
Point-like topological defects are singular configurations that occur in a variety of in and out of equilibrium systems with two-dimensional orientational order. As they are associ…
Reentrant condensation transition in a model of driven scalar active matter with diffusivity edge
Jonas Berx, Aritra Bose, Ramin Golestanian +1
The effect of a diffusivity edge is studied in a system of scalar active matter confined by a periodic potential and driven by an externally applied force. We find that this system…
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…
