Edge Currents Shape Condensates in Chiral Active Matter
Boyi Wang, Patrick Pietzonka, Frank Jülicher
Chiral active matter, which breaks both parity symmetry and time-reversal symmetry, is ubiquitous in living systems. Here, we introduce a minimal two-dimensional chiral active latt…

Accuracy Comes at a Cost: Optimal Localisation Against a Flow
Till Welker, Patrick Pietzonka
How much work does it cost for a propelled particle to stay localised near a stationary target, defying both thermal noise and a constant flow that would carry it away? We study th…
