Topology of pulsating active matter: Defect asymmetry controls emergent motility
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne Fodor
In pulsating active matter, topological defects are motile despite the absence of any macroscopic flows and microscopic self-propulsion. We reveal that this motility arises from a…
Collective deformation of anisotropic particles with internal pulsation
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne Fodor
Capturing the emergence of deformation waves in contractile living tissues is a challenge that has recently been tackled with models of actively deformable particles. Inspired by t…
Control protocols for harmonically confined run-and-tumble particles
Marco Baldovin, Alessandro Manacorda
Run-and-tumble particles constitute one of the simplest models of self-propelled active matter, and provide an ideal playground to the understanding of out-of-equilibrium systems.…
