Programming active-molecule dynamics via intramolecular nonreciprocity
Ye Zhang, Meng Xiao, Duanduan Wan
The dynamics of a self-propelled particle are typically hard-wired by its microscopic construction, limiting the range of behaviors accessible without redesigning the particle itse…

Self-propelled particles undergoing cyclic transitions
Ye Zhang, Duanduan Wan
Cyclic transitions between active and passive states are central to many natural and synthetic systems, ranging from light-driven active particles to animal migrations. Here, we in…
