Colloidal Hard Spheres: Triumphs, Challenges and Mysteries
C. Patrick Royall, Patrick Charbonneau, Marjolein Dijkstra +4
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static an…
Perturbative dynamic renormalization of scalar field theories in statistical physics
Nikos Papanikolaou, Thomas Speck
Renormalization is a powerful technique in statistical physics to extract the large-scale behavior of interacting many-body models. These notes aim to give an introduction to pertu…
Effective dynamics and fluctuations of a trapped probe moving in a fluid of active hard discs
Ashreya Jayaram, Thomas Speck
We study the dynamics of a single trapped probe surrounded by self-propelled active particles in two dimensions. In the limit of large size separation, we perform an adiabatic elim…
Inverse condensation of adsorbed molecules with two conformations
Joël A. K. L. Picard, T. Speck
Conventional gas-liquid phase transitions feature a coexistence line that has a monotonic and positive slope in line with our intuition that cooling always leads to condensation. H…
Sustainably Grown: The Underdog Robots of the Future
Stoyan K. Smoukov
It is hard to imagine with the progress in robotics that current approaches are lacking somewhere, yet they will not be applicable to the majority of robots in the near future. We…
Force generation in confined active fluids: The role of microstructure
Shuvojit Paul, Ashreya Jayaram, N Narinder +2
We experimentally determine the force exerted by a bath of active particles onto a passive probe as a function of its distance to a wall and compare it to the measured averaged den…
