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…
Invariance properties of bacterial random walks in complex structures
Giacomo Frangipane, Gaszton Vizsnyiczai, Claudio Maggi +4
Motile cells often explore natural environments characterized by a high degree of structural complexity. Moreover cell motility is also intrinsically noisy due to spontaneous rando…
Currents and flux-inversion in photokinetic active particles
Claudio Maggi, Luca Angelani, Giacomo Frangipane +1
Many active particles, both of biological and synthetic origin, can have a light controllable propulsion speed, a property that in biology is commonly referred to as photokinesis.…
Dynamic density shaping of light driven bacteria
Giacomo Frangipane, Dario Dell'Arciprete, Serena Petracchini +6
Many motile microorganisms react to environmental light cues with a variety of motility responses guiding cells towards better conditions for survival and growth. The use of spatia…
Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments
Clemens Bechinger, Roberto Di Leonardo, Hartmut Löwen +3
Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy fr…
Polar features in the flagellar propulsion of E. coli bacteria
S. Bianchi, F. Saglimbeni, A. Lepore +1
E. coli bacteria swim following a run and tumble pattern. In the run state all flagella join in a single helical bundle that propels the cell body along approximately straight path…
