Edge states, pairing, and sorting of motile chiral particles
Raushan Kant, Ananyo Maitra, A K Sood +1
We present experiments on chiral active polar particles, realized as vibrated granular rods, revealing the formation of robust ``skipping orbits'' at hard boundaries. These edge st…

Bulk condensation by an active interface
Raushan Kant, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Harsh Soni +2
We present experiments, supported by mechanically detailed simulations, establishing bulk vapor-liquid condensation of a hard-bead fluid by a tiny population of orientable motile g…
