Flexibility-induced effects in the Brownian motion of colloidal trimers
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Nathalie E. G. Ligthart +5
Shape changes resulting from segmental flexibility are ubiquitous in molecular and biological systems, and are expected to affect both the diffusive motion and (biological) functio…

Predator-Prey Interactions between Droplets Driven by Nonreciprocal Oil Exchange
Caleb H. Meredith, Pepijn G. Moerman, Jan Groenewold +4
Chemotactic interactions are ubiquitous in nature and can lead to nonreciprocal and complex emergent behavior in multibody systems. Here we show how chemotactic signaling between m…

Tunable active rotational diffusion in swimming droplets
Adrien Izzet, Pepijn Moerman, Jan Groenewold +2
Here we characterize the motility of athermal swimming droplets within the framework of active rotational diffusion. Just like active colloids, their trajectories can be modeled wi…
