Random motility regulation as a generic mechanism of community formation
Alberto Dinelli, Ada Altieri, Julien Tailleur
The paper shows that weak, random regulation of bacterial motility can drive the formation of spatially segregated microbial communities, using simulations and random‑matrix theory…
Multiscale perturbative approach to active matter with motility regulation
Alberto Dinelli, Pietro Luigi Muzzeddu
We present a coarse-graining method applicable to dry scalar active matter with motility regulation. Our approach, based on a multiscale perturbative expansion of the backward Kolm…
Unifying hydrodynamic theory for motility-regulated active matter: from single particles to interacting polymers
Alberto Dinelli, Pietro Luigi Muzzeddu
Understanding how microscopic motility shapes emergent collective behaviors is a challenging task in active matter, especially when self-propulsion is regulated by external cues or…
Active topological strings in renewing nematopolar fluids
Alberto Dinelli, Ludovic Dumoulin, Karsten Kruse
Active matter often simultaneously exhibits different kinds of orientational order and, in many cases of biological interest, undergoes continuous material renewal. In renewing nem…
Synthetic Quorum Sensing and Absorbing Phase Transitions in Colloidal Active Matter
Thibault Lefranc, Alberto Dinelli, Carla Fernández-Rico +3
Unlike biological active matter that constantly adapt to their environment, the motors of synthetic active particles are typically agnostic to their surroundings and merely operate…
Contact Forces in Motility-Regulated Active Matter
Quan Manh Nguyen, Alberto Dinelli, Gianmarco Spera +1
Long-range interactions are ubiquitous in nature, where they are mediated by diffusive fields at the cellular scale or by visual cues for groups of animals. Short-range forces, whi…
