Active spinners drive passive matter into chiral rotors
Dennis Schorn, Anpuj Nair S, Stijn van der Ham +2
Active spinners inject angular momentum into their surroundings without persistent translation, providing a route to chiral active matter distinct from self-propelled particles mov…
What exactly is 'active matter'?
Michael te Vrugt, Benno Liebchen, Michael E. Cates
As the study of active matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing subfields of condensed matter physics, more and more kinds of physical systems have been included i…
Chiral Active Matter
Benno Liebchen, Demian Levis
Chiral active matter comprises particles which can self-propel and self-rotate. Examples range from sperm cells and bacteria near walls to asymmetric colloids and pea-shaped Quinck…
Simultaneous Phase Separation and Pattern Formation in Chiral Active Mixtures
Demian Levis, Benno Liebchen
Chiral active particles, or self-propelled circle swimmers, from sperm cells to asymmetric Janus colloids, form a rich set of patterns, which are different from those seen in linea…
Activity induced synchronization: From Mutual Flocking to Chiral Self-Sorting
Demian Levis, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Benno Liebchen
Synchronization, the temporal coordination of coupled oscillators, allows fireflies to flash in unison, neurons to fire collectively and human crowds to fall in step on the London…
Actomyosin contraction induces droplet motility
Thomas Le Goff, Benno Liebchen, Davide Marenduzzo
While cell crawling on a solid surface is relatively well understood, and relies on substrate adhesion, some cells can also swim in the bulk, through mechanisms that are still larg…
