From flocking to glassiness in dense disordered polar Active Matter
Matteo Paoluzzi, Demian Levis, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Living materials such as biological tissues or bacterial colonies are collections of heterogeneous entities of different sizes, capable of autonomous motion, and often capable of c…
From Motility-Induced Phase-Separation to Glassiness in Dense Active Matter
Matteo Paoluzzi, Demian Levis, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Dense active systems are widespread in nature, examples range from bacterial colonies to biological tissues. Dense clusters of active particles can be obtained by increasing the pa…
Critical active dynamics is captured by a colored-noise driven field theory
Claudio Maggi, Nicoletta Gnan, Matteo Paoluzzi +2
We numerically investigate the correlation function, the response and the breakdown of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem (FDT) in active particles close to the motility-induced c…
Alignment interactions drive structural transitions in biological tissues
Matteo Paoluzzi, Luca Angelani, Giorgio Gosti +3
Experimental evidence shows that there is a feedback between cell shape and cell motion. How this feedback impacts the collective behavior of dense cell monolayers remains an open…
Softness, anomalous dynamics, and fractal-like energy landscape in model cell tissues
Yan-Wei Li, Leon Loh Yeong Wei, Matteo Paoluzzi +1
Epithelial cell tissues have a slow relaxation dynamics resembling that of supercooled liquids. Yet, they also have distinguishing features. These include an extended short-time su…
Surfing and crawling macroscopic active particles under strong confinement -- inertial dynamics
Marco Leoni, Matteo Paoluzzi, Sarah Eldeen +5
We study two types of active (self-propelled) macroscopic particles under confinement: camphor surfers and hexbug crawlers, using a combined experimental, theoretical, and numerica…
