Phase coherence and disorder-induced wave propagation in micromotor arrays
Romane Braun, Alexis Poncet, Alexandre Morin +1
Machines are designed, assembled, and programmed to convert power into predetermined dynamics and functions. In contrast, living systems such as interacting cells and animal groups…
Learning general pair interactions between self-propelled particles
Jérôme Hem, Alexis Poncet, Pierre Ronceray +2
Synthetic active matter systems, such as active colloids, often have complex interactions, which can be of hydrodynamic, chemical or electrostatic origin and cannot be computed fro…
Full stochastic dynamics of a tracer in a dense single-file system
Alexis Poncet, Aurélien Grabsch, Olivier Bénichou
Tracer diffusion in single-file systems, where particles are restricted to move on a line without passing each other, has been a fertile ground to investigate anomalous diffusion a…
Melting of non reciprocal solids: how dislocations propel and fission in flowing crystals
Stéphane Guillet, Alexis Poncet, Marine Le Blay +3
When soft matter is driven out of equilibrium its constituents interact via effective interactions that escape Newton's action-reaction principle. Prominent examples include the hy…
