Spontaneous Demixing of Binary Colloidal Flocks

Samadarshi Maity, Alexandre Morin

Population heterogeneity is ubiquitous among active living systems, but little is known about its role in determining their spatial organization and large-scale dynamics. Combining…

Sounds and hydrodynamics of polar active fluids

Delphine Geyer, Alexandre Morin, Denis Bartolo

Spontaneously flowing liquids have been successfully engineered from a variety of biological and synthetic self-propelled units. Together with their orientational order, wave propa…

Flowing active liquids in a pipe: Hysteretic response of polar flocks to external fields

Alexandre Morin, Denis Bartolo

We investigate the response of colloidal flocks to external fields. We first show that individual colloidal rollers align with external flows as would a classical spin with magneti…

Diffusion, subdiffusion and localisation of active colloids in random post lattices

Alexandre Morin, David Lopes Cardozo, Vijayakumar Chikkadi +1

Combining experiments and theory, we address the dynamics of self-propelled particles in crowded environments. We first demonstrate that motile colloids cruising at constant speed…

Distortion and destruction of colloidal flocks in disordered environments

Alexandre Morin, Nicolas Desreumaux, Jean-Baptiste Caussin +1

How do flocks, herds and swarms proceed through disordered environments? This question is not only crucial to animal groups in the wild, but also to virtually all applications of c…

Collective Motion with Anticipation: Flocking, Spinning, and Swarming

Alexandre Morin, Jean-Baptiste Caussin, Christophe Eloy +1

We investigate the collective dynamics of self-propelled particles able to probe and anticipate the orientation of their neighbors. We show that a simple anticipation strategy hind…
