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…
Macroscopic active matter under confinement: dynamical heterogeneity, bursts, and glassy behavior in a few-body system of self-propelling camphor surfers
Marco Leoni, Matteo Paoluzzi, Christian Alistair Dumaup +5
We study a few-body system composed of self-propelling camphor surfers confined within a circular boundary. These millimeter-sized particles move in a regime where inertia and long…
Non-equilibrium phase transitions in hybrid Voronoi models of cell colonies
Mattia Miotto, Giancarlo Ruocco, Matteo Paoluzzi
Eukaryotic cells are characterized by a stiff nucleus whose effect in modeling the collective behavior of cell aggregates is usually underestimated. However, increasing experimenta…
Motility driven glassy dynamics in confluent epithelial monolayers
Souvik Sadhukhan, Manoj Kumar Nandi, Satyam Pandey +4
As wounds heal, embryos develop, cancer spreads, or asthma progresses, the cellular monolayer undergoes glass transition between solid-like jammed and fluid-like flowing states. Du…
