Fluidization induced by Magnetic Interactions in Confined Active Matter
Marco Musacchio, Markus Felber, Matteo Paoluzzi +3
We investigate magnetic active matter in confined geometries using both experiments with magnetic toy robots Hexbugs and simulations of elongated magnetic active Brownian particles…
Local entropy production rate of run-and-tumble particles
Matteo Paoluzzi, Andrea Puglisi, Luca Angelani
We study the local entropy production rate and the local entropy flow in active systems composed of non-interacting run-and-tumble particles in a thermal bath. After providing gene…
Rosette formations as symmetry-breaking events: theory and experiment
Mattia Miotto, Giorgio Gosti, Maria Rosito +6
Multicellular rosettes are observed in different situations such as morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer progression. While some molecular insights have been gained to explain…
Wave front propagation in the Active Coagulation Model
Matteo Paoluzzi
Spreading processes on top of active dynamics provide a novel theoretical framework for capturing emerging collective behavior in living systems. I consider run-and-tumble dynamics…
