Critical escape dynamics of an active particle moving on curved surfaces
Maxim Root, Hartmut Löwen, Peter Sollich +2
On the macroscopic scale, active (self-propelled) objects moving through complex environments are often subject to effects arising from both the curvature of the surrounding surfac…
Inferring interactions between active particles using harmonic traps
Arnaud Compagnie, Joscha Mecke, Ivo Buttinoni +1
Quantifying the interactions between active Janus particles remains a challenge that needs to be addressed to describe their collective behaviour. Inspired by a photonic force micr…
Active embracement enables autonomous tweezing in active star polymers
Marco Musacchio, Davide Breoni, Iman Abdoli +3
The capacity for autonomous structural reconfiguration is a defining trait of living systems, yet it remains elusive in artificial active matter. Here, we report the discovery of a…
Jerky Motion of Active Granular Particles
Alexander P. Antonov, Marco Musacchio, Hartmut Löwen +1
Abrupt transitions between rest and motion can render the standard Newtonian description -- based on position, velocity, and acceleration -- incomplete, requiring higher-order deri…
Tilt control of coverage heterogeneity for hard spherocylinders locked on a sphere
Jonathan Washburn, Hartmut Löwen, Elshad Allahyarov
We study hard spherocylinders on a sphere with axes rigidly locked to a tangential director field at fixed angle $\tilt$ to the meridian, necessarily singular at the poles. Three l…
Magnetic active matter across scales
Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Margaret Rosenberg, Marco Musacchio +2
Magnetic interactions provide a versatile and powerful tool for controlling and organizing active matter, where individual units continuously consume energy to drive autonomous mot…
