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…
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…
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…
Motility of active nematic films driven by "active anchoring"
Matthew L. Blow, Marco Aqil, Benno Liebchen +1
We provide a minimal model for an active nematic film in contact with both a solid substrate and a passive isotropic fluid, and explore its dynamics in one and two dimensions using…
