Scalar field theory for (chiral) active Brownian particles: bottom-up derivation revisited

Yuta Kuroda, Thomas Speck

The active Brownian particle (ABP) model is one of the most widely used particle-based models in studies of scalar active fluids. A collection of interacting ABPs is known to exhib…

Designing topological edge currents in chiral active matter

Yuta Kuroda, Ellen Meyberg, Gaurav Gardi +2

Achieving robust functionality in active matter driven away from thermal equilibrium is a current theoretical and experimental challenge. Several recent studies have reported edge…

Impact of currents on non-equilibrium coexistence in chemically driven mixtures

E. Meyberg, J. F. Robinson, T. Speck

Virtually every biological function emerges through the organization of molecules in time and space. Consequently, a major challenge in statistical physics is to uncover the univer…

Mutual Linearity is a Generic Property of Steady-State Markov Networks

Robin Bebon, Thomas Speck

Understanding and predicting how complex systems respond to external perturbations is a central challenge in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Here we consider continuous-time Ma…

Statistics and morphologies of stable droplets in scalar active fluids

Kathrin Hertäg, Joshua F. Robinson, Thomas Speck

Conventional phase segregation is controlled by a positive interfacial tension, which implies that the system relaxes towards a state in which the interfacial area (or length) is m…

Negative drag force on beating flagellar-shaped bodies in active fluids

Timo Knippenberg, Robin Bebon, Thomas Speck +1

We experimentally investigate the drag force exerted by a suspension of light-induced active particles (APs) on a translating and beating idealized flagellum-shaped object realized…

Universal limiting behaviour of reaction-diffusion systems with conservation laws

Joshua F. Robinson, Thomas Machon, Thomas Speck

Making sense of complex inhomogeneous systems composed of many interacting species is a grand challenge that pervades basically all natural sciences. Phase separation and pattern f…

Thermodynamics of active matter: Tracking dissipation across scales

Robin Bebon, Joshua F. Robinson, Thomas Speck

The concept of entropy has been pivotal in the formulation of thermodynamics. For systems driven away from thermal equilibrium, a comparable role is played by entropy production an…
