Spinning Living Crystals of Run-and-Tumble Particles with Environmental Feedback
Maks Pečnik Bambič, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Giorgio Volpe
Collective rotations are common in active matter, enhancing cohesion, transport, and mixing. They are typically attributed to chiral non-reciprocal dynamics due to intrinsic partic…

3D model for surface accumulation of chiral and non-chiral microswimmers
Danne M. van Roon, Giorgio Volpe, Margarida M. Telo da Gama +1
Persistent motion of microswimmers near boundaries is known to result in surface accumulation. Recently it was shown experimentally that surface accumulation of microswimmers is im…
