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…
Phase Behavior and Dynamics of Active Brownian Particles in an Alignment Field
Sameh Othman, Jiarul Midya, Thorsten Auth +1
Self-propelled particles that are subject to noise are a well-established generic model system for active matter. A homogeneous alignment field can be used to orient the direction…
Membrane-Mediated Interactions Between Nonspherical Elastic Particles
Jiarul Midya, Thorsten Auth, Gerhard Gompper
The transport of particles across lipid-bilayer membranes is important for biological cells to exchange information and material with their environment. Large particles often get w…
Sculpting vesicles with active particles: Less is more
Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri, Masoud Hoore, Clara Abaurrea-Velasco +6
Biological cells are able to generate intricate structures and respond to external stimuli, sculpting their membrane from within. Simplified biomimetic systems can aid in understan…
Filamentous Active Matter: Band Formation, Bending, Buckling, and Defects
Gerrit Vliegenthart, Arvind Ravichandran, Marisol Ripoll +2
Motor proteins drive persistent motion and self-organisation of cytoskeletal filaments. However, state-of-the-art microscopy techniques and continuum modelling approaches focus on…
Vesicles with internal active filaments: self-organized propulsion controls shape, motility, and dynamical response
Clara Abaurrea-Velasco, Thorsten Auth, Gerhard Gompper
Self-propulsion and navigation due to the sensing of environmental conditions - such as durotaxis and chemotaxis - are remarkable properties of biological cells that cannot be repr…
Collective behavior of self-propelled rods with quorum sensing
Clara Abaurrea Velasco, Masoud Abkenar, Gerhard Gompper +1
Active agents - like phoretic particles, bacteria, sperm, and cytoskeletal filaments in motility assays - show a large variety of motility-induced collective behaviors, such as agg…
Motility-sorting of self-propelled particles in micro-channels
Andrea Costanzo, Jens Elgeti, Thorsten Auth +2
Spontaneous segregation of run-and-tumble particles with different velocities in microchannels is investigated by numerical simulations. Self-propelled particles are known to accum…
Collective behavior of penetrable self-propelled rods in two dimensions
Masoud Abkenar, Kristian Marx, Thorsten Auth +1
Collective behavior of self-propelled particles is observed on a microscale for swimmers such as sperm and bacteria as well as for protein filaments in motility assays. The propert…
Fluctuation Pressure of Biomembranes in Planar Confinement
Thorsten Auth, Gerhard Gompper
The fluctuation pressure of a lipid-bilayer membrane is important for the stability of lamellar phases and the adhesion of membranes to surfaces. In contrast to many theoretical st…
Wrapping of ellipsoidal nano-particles by fluid membranes
Sabyasachi Dasgupta, Thorsten Auth, Gerhard Gompper
Membrane budding and wrapping of particles, such as viruses and nano-particles, play a key role in intracellular transport and have been studied for a variety of biological and sof…
Budding and vesiculation induced by conical membrane inclusions
Thorsten Auth, Gerhard Gompper
Conical inclusions in a lipid bilayer generate an overall spontaneous curvature of the membrane that depends on concentration and geometry of the inclusions. Examples are integral…
