Ultrafast directed transport via energy recuperation in non-Markovian systems

Mateusz WIśniewski, Jakub Spiechowicz

A recent pioneering experiment [Nat. Commun. 16, 10114 (2025)] demonstrated that a driven overdamped colloidal particle in a harmonic trap immersed in a viscoelastic fluid can recu…

Can the Brownian diffusion coefficient be reconstructed from Lyapunov exponents?

I. G. Marchenko, I. I. Marchenko, D. Ivashchenko +2

We consider an ac-driven particle moving in a spatially periodic and symmetric potential. In the zero- temperature limit, for the analyzed parameter set, its dynamics is non-chaoti…

Active fluctuations drive inertia-free absolute negative mobility in soft and living matter

K. Białas, P. Hänggi, J. Spiechowicz

Absolute negative mobility (ANM) is one of the most paradoxical transport phenomena in which a setup moves on average in a direction opposite to the applied force. The simplest sys…

Giant enhancement of transport driven by active fluctuations: impact of inertia

K. Białas, J. Spiechowicz

Recently, a paradoxical effect has been demonstrated in which transport of a free Brownian particle driven by active fluctuations in the form of white Poisson shot noise can be sig…

Memory-induced current reversal of Brownian motors

Mateusz Wiśniewski, Jakub Spiechowicz

Kinetics of biological motors such as kinesin or dynein is notably influenced by viscoelastic intracellular environment. The characteristic relaxation time of the cytosol is not se…

Approach to nonequilibrium: from anomalous to Brownian diffusion via non-Gaussianity

I. G. Marchenko, I. I. Marchenko, J. Łuczka +1

Recent progress in experimental techniques such as single particle tracking allows to analyze both nonequilibrium properties and approach to equilibrium. There are examples showing…

Dynamics of non-Markovian systems: Markovian embedding vs effective mass approach

Mateusz Wiśniewski, Jakub Spiechowicz

Dynamics of non-Markovian systems is a classic problem yet it attracts an everlasting activity in physics and beyond. A powerful tool for modeling such setups is the Generalized La…

Giant increase of diffusion by small rise of friction

I. G. Marchenko, I. I. Marchenko, V. Aksenova +2

Diffusion coefficient usually decreases when friction increases. We analyze the opposite behavior in the paradigmatic system consisting of an inertial Brownian particle moving in a…

Mechanism for giant enhancement of transport induced by active fluctuations

Karol Białas, Jakub Spiechowicz

Understanding the role of active fluctuations in physics is a problem in statu nascendi appearing both as a hot topic and a major challenge. The reason for this is the fact that th…
