Collective deformation of anisotropic particles with internal pulsation
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Etienne Fodor +1
Capturing the emergence of deformation waves in contractile living tissues is a challenge that has recently been tackled with models of actively deformable particles. Inspired by t…

Quantifying dissipation in flocking dynamics: When tracking internal states matters
Karel Proesmans, Gianmaria Falasco, Atul Tanaji Mohite +2
Aligning self-propelled particles undergo a nonequilibrium flocking transition from apolar to polar phases as their interactions become stronger. We propose a thermodynamically con…
