Nonequilibrium energetics of sensing and actuation by a smart active particle
Luca Cocconi, Benoît Mahault, Lorenzo Piro
Smart active agents must allocate finite energetic resources across distinct functions, yet the underlying thermodynamic trade-offs remain poorly understood. Here, we introduce a m…

Energetic cost of microswimmer navigation: the role of body shape
Lorenzo Piro, Andrej Vilfan, Ramin Golestanian +1
We study the energetic efficiency of navigating microswimmers by explicitly taking into account the geometry of their body. We show that, as their shape transitions from prolate to…
