Bath-modes quantitatively capture the nonlinear microrheology of micellar solutions

Pierre Champagnac, Clemens Bechinger, Juliana Caspers +3

Active microrheology experiments, in which a probe is driven through a complex fluid, often exhibit nonlinear responses that cannot be captured by generalized Langevin equations. M…

Energy-Efficient Control of Interacting Microscopic Systems: When Longer Paths Save Energy

Samuel Monter, Lars T. Stutzer, Sarah A. M. Loos +1

We experimentally and theoretically study the thermodynamically optimal control of interacting multiple-particle systems, focusing on collections of colloidal particles individuall…

Extracting work from hidden degrees of freedom

Lokesh Muruga, Felix Ginot, Sarah A. M. Loos +1

Thermodynamics establishes that information acquired through measurement can be converted into work, as exemplified by Maxwell's demon and Szilard engines. Most experimental realiz…

Reservoir computing from collective dynamics of active colloidal oscillators

Veit-Lorenz Heuthe, Lukas Seemann, Samuel Tovey +1

Physical reservoir computing is a computational framework that offers an energy- and computation-efficient alternative to conventional training of neural networks. In reservoir com…

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…

Motility-induced clustering of active particles under soft confinement

Timo Knippenberg, Ashreya Jayaram, Thomas Speck +1

We investigate the structural and dynamic properties of active Brownian particles (APs) confined within a soft annulus-shaped channel. Depending on the strength of the confinement…
