Microphase Separation in Quorum-Sensing Active Particles with Competing Interactions
Michele Antonioli, Nicoletta Gnan, Claudio Maggi
Standard quorum-sensing models in active matter exhibit collective phenomena such as motility-induced phase separation. Here, we show that incorporating competing sensing ranges--…

Multiple temperatures and melting of a colloidal active crystal
Helena Massana-Cid, Claudio Maggi, Nicoletta Gnan +2
Thermal fluctuations constantly and evenly excite all vibrational modes in an equilibrium crystal. As the temperature rises, these fluctuations promote the formation of defects and…
