Active quantum flocks
Reyhaneh Khasseh, Sascha Wald, Roderich Moessner +2
Flocks of animals represent a prominent archetype of collective behavior in the macroscopic classical world, where the constituents, such as birds, concertedly perform motions and…
Formation of liquid shells in active droplet systems
Jonathan Bauermann, Giacomo Bartolucci, Job Boekhoven +2
We study a chemically active binary mixture undergoing phase separation and show that under non-equilibrium conditions, stable liquid spherical shells can form via a spinodal insta…
Non-equilibrium wet-dry cycling acts as a catalyst for chemical reactions
Ivar Svalheim Haugerud, Pranay Jaiswal, Christoph A. Weber
Recent experimental studies suggest that wet-dry cycles and coexisting phases can each strongly alter chemical processes. The mechanisms of why and to which degree chemical process…
Selection of prebiotic oligonucleotides by cyclic phase separation
Giacomo Bartolucci, Adriana Calaça Serrão, Philipp Schwintek +7
The emergence of functional oligonucleotides on early Earth required a molecular selection mechanism to screen for specific sequences with prebiotic functions. Cyclic processes suc…
Energy and Matter Supply for Active Droplets
Jonathan Bauermann, Christoph A. Weber, Frank Jülicher
Chemically active droplets provide simple models for cell-like systems that can grow and divide. Such active droplet systems are driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium and turn…
Heat Fluctuations in Chemically Active Systems
Joël Mabillard, Christoph A. Weber, Frank Jülicher
Chemically active systems such as living cells are maintained out of thermal equilibrium due to chemical events which generate heat and lead to active fluctuations. A key question…
