Free chiral self-propelled robots compared to active Brownian circle swimmers
Thomas Kiechl, Amy Altshuler, Anton Lüders +2
Macroscopic active matter systems, such as bristle bots, provide a compelling platform for investigating nonequilibrium dynamics at highly visible scales. To fully leverage their a…

When velocity autocorrelations mirror force autocorrelations: Exact noise-cancellation in interacting Brownian systems
Anton Lüders, Suvendu Mandal, Thomas Franosch
Resolving the mean-squared displacement (MSD) and velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) of interacting Brownian particles remains a central challenge in simulations of soft-matt…

Nonmonotonic Magnetic Friction from Collective Rotor Dynamics
Hongri Gu, Anton Lüders, Clemens Bechinger
Amontons' law postulates a monotonic relationship between frictional force and the normal load applied to a sliding contact. This empirical rule, however, fails in systems where in…
