Non-equilibrium phase coexistence in conserved chemically active mixtures
Florian Raßhofer, Erwin Frey
Chemical activity is known to affect phase coexistence and coarsening in liquid mixtures, most commonly through reaction-induced changes of intermolecular interactions. Here, we an…
Local composition controls pattern formation in conserved active emulsions
Florian Raßhofer, Erwin Frey
Phase separation in passive systems leads to uncontrolled droplet growth, limiting structural control in soft materials and cells. We identify a generic mechanism to arrest coarsen…
Capillary wave formation in conserved active emulsions
Florian Raßhofer, Simon Bauer, Alexander Ziepke +2
The dynamics of phase-separated interfaces shape the behavior of both passive and active condensates. While surface tension in equilibrium systems minimizes interface length, non-e…
Acoustic signaling enables collective perception and control in active matter systems
Alexander Ziepke, Ivan Maryshev, Igor S. Aranson +1
Emergent cooperative functionality in active matter systems plays a crucial role in various applications of active swarms, ranging from pollutant foraging and collective threat det…
