Signatures of motor susceptibility in the dynamics of a tracer particle in an active gel
Nitzan Razin, Raphael Voituriez, Nir S. Gov
We study a model for the motion of a tracer particle inside an active gel, exposing the properties of the van Hove distribution of the particle displacements. Active events of a ty…

Forces in inhomogeneous open active-particle systems
Nitzan Razin, Raphael Voituriez, Jens Elgeti +1
We study the force that non-interacting point-like active particles apply to a symmetric inert object in the presence of a gradient of activity and particle sources and sinks. We c…

Generalized Archimedes' principle in active fluids
Nitzan Razin, Raphael Voituriez, Jens Elgeti +1
We show how a gradient in the motility properties of non-interacting point-like active particles can cause a pressure gradient that pushes a large inert object. We calculate the fo…
