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…

Defect statistics in pulsating active liquids: From contraction waves to aster dynamics

Tirthankar Banerjee, Luca Cocconi, Thibault Desaleux +2

We propose and study a hydrodynamic theory that captures the emergence of contraction waves in dense active liquids composed of pulsating particles subject to isotropic deformation…

Control of active field theories at minimal dissipation

Artur Soriani, Elsen Tjhung, Étienne Fodor +1

Advances in experimental techniques enable the precise manipulation of a large variety of active systems, which constantly dissipate energy to sustain nonequilibrium phenomena with…

Hydrodynamics of pulsating active liquids

Tirthankar Banerjee, Thibault Desaleux, Jonas Ranft +1

Inspired by dense contractile tissues, where cells are subject to periodic deformation, we formulate and study a generic hydrodynamic theory of pulsating active liquids. Combining…

Active matter under control: Insights from response theory

Luke K. Davis, Karel Proesmans, Étienne Fodor

Active constituents burn fuel to sustain individual motion, giving rise to collective effects that are not seen in systems at thermal equilibrium, such as phase separation with pur…

Non-Gaussian noise without memory in active matter

Étienne Fodor, Hisao Hayakawa, Julien Tailleur +1

Modeling the dynamics of an individual active particle invariably involves an isotropic noisy self-propulsion component, in the form of run-and-tumble motion or variations around i…

How dissipation constrains fluctuations in nonequilibrium liquids: Diffusion, structure and biased interactions

Laura Tociu, Étienne Fodor, Takahiro Nemoto +1

The dynamics and structure of nonequilibrium liquids, driven by non-conservative forces which can be either external or internal, generically hold the signature of the net dissipat…
