The 2024 Motile Active Matter Roadmap
Gerhard Gompper, Howard A. Stone, Christina Kurzthaler +29
Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskelet…

Boundary shape engineering for the spatial control of confined active particles
Roberto Di Leonardo, András Búzás, Lóránd Kelemen +4
Unlike an equilibrium gas, the distribution of active particles can be very sensitive to what happens at the boundaries of their container. Experiments and simulations have previou…

Multiple temperatures and melting of a colloidal active crystal
Helena Massana-Cid, Claudio Maggi, Nicoletta Gnan +2
Thermal fluctuations constantly and evenly excite all vibrational modes in an equilibrium crystal. As the temperature rises, these fluctuations promote the formation of defects and…
