A particle-resolved rheological study of chirality transfer and odd transport
Rémi Goerlich, Alexander P. Antonov, Kristian Stølevik Olsen +4
Chirality, or the breaking of mirror symmetry, appears across all scales in nature, from molecular conformations to the dynamics of bacterial collectives. Environments composed of…

Inertial active matter with Coulomb friction
Alexander P. Antonov, Lorenzo Caprini, Anton Ldov +2
Friction is central to the motion of active (self-propelled) objects such as bacteria, animals, and robots. While in a viscous fluid friction is described by Stokes's law, objects…

Dynamical clustering and wetting phenomena in inertial active matter
Lorenzo Caprini, Davide Breoni, Anton Ldov +2
Dynamical clustering represents a characteristic feature of active matter consisting of self-propelled agents that convert energy from the environment into mechanical motion. At th…
